Although you don't say which package you tried, I would guess that the "org" package is specified as a dependency, likely with some minimum version. > Can it be disabled?

You can fake that in various way, for instance by creating a package directory "org-21991231" and putting an org-pkg.el with (define-package "org" "21991231" "Fake Org package for dependency resolution" 'nil) in it.
