There's no reason to remove the base boards for vinyl installations, just the shoe molding. It's a good idea to leave a little space maybe 1/8-1/4". You definitely don't want a 1/2" gap though. Is it really that wide? The shoe molding will just barely cover that.
The vinyl backed vinyls (like IVC) require 1/8" gap around all obstructions. Felt backed vinyls can be cut in tight
