The original Olds front drums come off with the hub.
You need to remove the cotter pin, nut, washer and outer wheel bearing. The drum is removed with the hub, inner wheel bearing and seal.

There are many kits on the market to install disk brakes on the A body GM cars. If you go to a bone yard the brakes from any A Body (Cutlass, Skylark, Tempest, Chevell); 2nd Gen F body (Firebird, Camaro); X body (Nova, Omega, Apollo, Ventura) or Monte Carlo and 1969 and later Grand Prix. You will need the master cylinder, proportioning valve, spindles, rotors and calipers.
