Nope. Removing that wire is a very effective way of disabling the spark,
recommended when doing compression checks or similar things that require the
engine be cranked with the plugs disconnected (or removed). Otherwise the
misguided spark can do some mischief to the high voltage components (rotor,
cap, wires). But the engine will definitely not run with the point wire
disconnected.
