Default 240 manual rack to power rack conversion

I have fitted a 240 manual rack on an American car and was interested if I could convert this easily enough to power steering.
Does anyone know if the brackets and the linkage position is the same for the power rack? If so then a straight swap would be nice and easy.
Cheers
John.

The power rack will fit but you will need the pump, brackets, pipework and resevoir etc and also you will need to change the lower suspension balljoint.You might also need to chang the front crank pulley to accomodate the extra drive belt (can't quite remember the set-up on the manual version)

Thanks Paul,
The ball joint and pulley wont be a problem as I have fitted the rack onto a Ford Mustang. My main concern was having the same stereing shaft linkage position and the mounting arrangement.
