You don't take vacuum advance off to set ignition timing. You pull and reclock the distributor if cam timing is right.

Before we get any deeper into this conversation, what exactly is the problem you are having with setting the timing?

Well don't worry about it right now, I'm currently doing the starter on my lemans cause as I crawled under to get a little more slack for my battery cable. (Cause woo sparks are scary.) I could almost unscrew where the cable goes from the starter itself

There is no reason I can think of to remove the vacuum advance. Just remove the vacuum line attached to it and plug the hose so you don't have a vacuum leak.
