Default 66 stock front brake drums

is it ok to separate the drum from the hub, and leave it installed like that, or does it need to be that way, does it affect the balance

Yes it’s ok. In fact, when you buy new front drums you have to take the hub out of the old drum and use it with the new drum. New drums used to come with retainer clips to go over the wheel studs to hold the drum on the hub.

I think 8-lug front drums include the hub, but I don't know if we are talking about the same thing.
