Can a person replace a hall effect setup on an 1988 3.9 d150 with a
distributor with a vacuum advance. That way I could put a regular carb
on it and do away with the smec?

Sure, though there's a little more to it than just replacing the
distributor.

Don't forget, smec controls a lot more than just the fuel and ignition
systems. The idea was for smec to replace control componants throughout
the car.
Someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
