You have a fairly easy situation.
Yes, you can disconnect the cable drop from the splitter and insert your antenna signal. If the existing cable in the house has been providing reliable cable service, it should be fine for OTA also.
I would try this with no amplifier, you can add one later if the need is proven.
As far as an antenna suggestion goes, an Antennas Direct DB4e facing south would be my choice.
If you want to see the signal from KQTV, in addition to the other ABC affiliate, KMBC, you can add a second antenna pointed at 307°. An Antennacraft Y5713, Y10713 or Winegard YA1713 would work. You can combine the two antennas (UHF & VHF) using a UHF/VHF Signal Joiner (UVSJ).
@teleview, A multi-band (CH-7-69) type antenna aimed south would have no VHF signals to receive. Perhaps I'm overlooking something?

Reason: 7-69 option?
