Take the other side's cone off first.
It can be done, you'll probably just have to reinstall the loose balls with needle nose pliers.

axle removal is the easy part as mentioned above if done from the non-drive side
very difficult to repack drive side cup with gear block in place
BTW - it is not a "cassette" - can be termed a freewheel or gear block
a cassette is something else which came later
gear block really needs to be removed to make a proper job of the procedure

I took it to my local shop, the guy looked pretty skeptical that they would have a tool the fits a 71...he dug through a drawer and first pick fit like a glove, he had the Freewheel(Thanks Juvela) off in a second and I was on my way, no charge...this place is great!...Took everything apart cleaned and I'm ready for regrease and installation. When I reinstall the freewheel I just spin it back on and riding will tighten it ,correct?...thanks guys for the help.
Yes, correct

@62typhoon -
let us hope the cones are yet good
the replacement cones for Schwinn Approved Atom & Normandy hubs have been unavailable for many years
the Etablissements Maillard plant in Incheville France which produced them closed permanently in 1991
enthusiasts have found it necessary to be creative in generating suitable replacements...
it is sometimes possible to keep a hub running via cannibalisation
best wishes with it

1971 Collegiate has SHIMANO freewheel.
As 1970 Collegiate and the 1970 FIVE SPEED SUBURBAN have the Model J (shimano)freewheel with 32-26-21-17-14.
The 1964-1969 Collegiate has the same Model F (French made) freewheel as seen on sixties & seventies era Varsity-Continental-10 speed Suburban. The Model F is 28-24-20-16-14.
Though the Model F is a fine freewwheel, the Model J (built by shimano for Schwinn) is exponentially better in quality.

If you need to remove in future, get 12 splined, 20mm OD remover tool fits older Shimano freewheels. Various aftermarket Eg, https://www.amazon.com/BIKEHAND-Bicycle-Shimano-Standard-Freewheel/dp/B088WPGMXZ
