Removing the bottom beam should not affect the stability of the bed in any way.
If the bottom bunk is not part of the framework then yes you can.
But one of the most important things you need to consider is the sturdiness and stability of the frame.
You can also use reinforcement to make it sturdy if that be the case.
In most bunk bed designs the lower bunk is the major stabilizing force in the system that is the bunk bed.

Most of your conversion work will revolve around reinforcing the frame to make sure the bed is safe after removing the lower bunk.
