Can I store a Trunked system & conventional frequencies on the same bank?

Yes you can. You can also store multi Motorola trunked systems (or multi-site Motorola) in the same bank. Use CC's only and separate each systems CC's with an FM frequency. This freq does not need to be usable. I.e. below:

Richmond  01	 151.15250	  MOT	  0.0	 	 	 
Richmond  02	 152.03750	  MOT	  0.0	 	 	 
Bank 1 Ch 02	1300.00000	   FM	  0.0	 	 	 
Petersburg05	 152.53250	  MOT	  0.0	 	 	 
Bank 1 Ch 04	1300.00000	   FM	  0.0	 	 	 
Louisa Cou01	 152.02250	  MOT	  0.0	 	 	 
Louisa Cou04	 158.84250	  MOT	  0.0

Should I lock out the FM channel (ie. 1300.00) that seperates the Control Channels?

No, the scanner needs to sample the change between active CC groups. An active FM frequency can be used, but then it may interfere with the trunking effort.
