Can you use a 71 (340, reinforced) A body K frame with the 73+ center link, ball joints etc? Or would it be better to stick with the 73+ K frame?

I just got the 340 K frame and already have the 73+ spool style, so I can use either one. I plan to add the steering box reinforcements to whichever would work best. I have 11/16 tie rods and the 73 spindles & ball joints.
