Default Wire HEI to 68 Cat

My 68 has an HEI wired into it already but I don't like the setup. The PO ran a wire from the HEI thru the firewall and into the block using an ACC terminal. So that he didn't fry the HEI he placed a fuse and switch between them. The switch is a PITA and I would like it to just fire using the key. I was poking around under the dash and noticed that the yellow wire coming from the key switch was hot during ign 1 and ign2 (cranking). Should it be safe to just wire my 12v HEI to the yellow wire coming from my ignition switch? I'm sure someone has performed this already. Thanks in advance.
