No mate as the shaft will still be needed as your phase sensor will still be in use(unless mounted to rocker cover to pick up on cam) just remove the HT leads and the distributor cap and fit the blank.
I assume you also have the rest of the wasted spark kit too.

Do not remove it!

As said you need to relocate the phase sensor to the cam cover, but more importantly you need machining work done, as when you remove the dizzy it also will stop the drive to the oil pump!
