Welcome to FTE

So long as the carburetor port is plugged (no vacuum leak) you can "delete" it, sure. Why would you want to, is a better question. Unless you're drag racing you definitely want vacuum advance.

The vacuum advanced took a poop so I haven't gotten the new part yet so was wondering if I can drive it without it until the new part comes in

Definitely. Fuel mileage will take a hit.

But, consider replacing the entire distributor itself, they come with a vacuum advance unit of course and if the vacuum diaphragm is shot the whole dist. must have some miles on it.
