Will a single speed sprocket fit on it ? And line up with front sprocket ?

Very good question. I would call a bike shop for this question as I'm not sure if you could use a single sprocket in the rear. I myself have never seeing this done.

Ok- just made a call to a guy I use to work on my schwinns. Yes you can run the single sprocket in the rear with a drum brake and it will match up with the front sprocket- but they would have to space it out in the rear for everything to line up.

Hope this helps.

You can also shim front sprocket for adjustment.
