Can I replace my air conditioner and A coil in my oil furnace
with a heat pump and continue to use my oil as a secondary heating souce keeping the same air handler. Even if I can , is this a good idea. ?

I think it would somewhat depend on the age of the furnace and your ability to find an A coil or one that could be reasonably adapted. If you could then I think it would be fine. You would save on buying a new air handler and you would have oil for a back up heat source. Go for a high efficiency heat pump.
