Manual yes, power not sure

Yes. The manual OR the power. The idler arm is different though.
I slipped a steering box from an 88 Dodge Diplomat into my FrankenDuster. The steering boxes interchange through many years and body styles. The trick is whether it is a small spline for the pitman or a big spline. I've read that ALL C bodies had the bigger spline but that the A body line didn't get the large spline until 1973.
In short, your swap is a sure thing.

Original 71 Satellite will interchange with a 71 Darts.
All B-body, E-body, and A-body have same steering boxes in 1971. Same goes from 1966 to 1972
EXCEPT for 71 340 power steering E-body built after Feb 1, 1971 and 71 340 E-body optioned for S74 fast ratio power steering.
