I check the brake section in my 72 service manual, and didn't see anything that said it would not, but I can't be any more help. Maybe some info in here:

Were it me I owuld just leave the brakes that are there and bolt them to the axle that you are putting in. If you are careful you may be able to get by without even disrupting them in the switch leaving them carefully hang.
