steering brace question

[OEM1984CJ7]

I am swapping from Manual to power steering when I do the AMC 304 swap and wondering if the steering gear box brackets are the same for man and power or if I need to swap the bracket system.

thanks.

The same but you lose one peice of the bracket as I recall. I still have the factory mount but I beefed it up some but it's really is a POS and would be wise to go with one of the aftermarket mounts especially with 32's and up. The brace is a good addition to the stock mount.
