Race or no race on outer bearing
I'm doing my front brakes. I'm having a little trouble with front bearings fitting. I thought the back bearing needed a race but I was wrong. Also quick question, are the map reading dome lights for these years near as bad for staying on and draining your battery like the stock ones?

Back bearing needs a race. This should help.
As far as dome lights go, I cant help ya - but I do know for good panel alignment, I've moved my doors so far back, they doesn't always trip the switch to shut the light off. Check to make sure those are working properly.

Race
They both need a race.

All tapered roller front wheel bearings on GM cars, regardless if equipped with drum or disc brakes, and regardless if inner or outer, require an outer race to ride on. See 73LeMans exploded view graph.

Neither the map lamp or the standard lamp will stay on to drain the battery, unless there's something wrong with one of the dome jamb switches or wiring, or you turned them on at the headlight switch and forget to turn them off, or leave a door open, or partially open enough so the jamb switch doesn't turn it off. The map dome lamp uses basically the same bulb for the main lighting as the standard round dome lamp. The map lamp does have the 2 extra map reading lights, but they are turned on and off by manually controlled switches on the dome light itself. You just have to be sure to turn them off when you're finished using them.
