Interesting question. I'm of the opinion that all of Atlas era "future" sci-fi worlds are all separate realities for the most part. Mostly because any that I've read contradict each other when it comes to technology, where life exists in the universe, what alien races, and their histories are vastly different as well. Usually when there are more than two stories that exist in the same universe, they feature a recognizable character between stories.

Whereas I would like to think that all the of the sci-fi and horror stories that occur in the "present" to be part of the Earth-616 universe, except that they occur in the era in which they were published. That exception to the way of thinking would be any stories in the "present" that would contradict what is happening in the modern age (For example, if there is a story where aliens come to Earth in the 1950s and help humanity reach the stars shortly thereafter, that would not be a 616 story).
