0f course you can do away with the ballast system and run a wire from the ign switch to a 12v coil and it will work ok as that's all they had for years.
However the ballast system will make it start easier especially if the car isn't used much, also the points will last a bit longer.
All this is old hat and easy to sort out compared with modern cars with cambus wiring, I had a customer that fitted a wrong bulb in his Volvo that stopped it going and cost him a new ECU at several hundred pounds, so a little knowledge can be a bad thing !
