Most folks just clear away the grass and loose soil and plop the pier block down. I think you are supposed to go for "undisturbed" soil, so if you dig up the area don't put the soil back. You can pour some gravel there and tamp it down, but don't dig and then put the soil back in the hole before doing that. If you've spread cinders all over, you'll have to remove the cinders from under your footings.
