I know I’ve asked this before but can’t find it

Is there a set up that allows me to add discs while keep the existing drum spindles ?

We put them on drum spindles on our B-body. The kit works great.

Dr Diff sells a Viper kit that bolts to 73-76 Abody drum spindles and B and Ebody drum spindles. I don't know what is different with earlier A spindles.

He also sells a B and Ebody drum spindle caliper bracket kit. Again I don't know what the exact difference is between the A and B spindles. Might be something as simple as bolt size or having to modify a bolt location.

I just noticed the non Viper kit is out of stock.

I've done a couple disc swaps onto drum spindles on early Bs, one Scarebird, and another brand I don't recall.
Both went on fine, no problems, but the track width increased.
If the wheel/tire setup is already tight at the wheel opening, that can be an issue, and a spec you'll need to know.
