Default '69 power steering small vs big block

Just wondering if the pumps, valves and rams are the same for both small block and big block applications?

Also, how different are the mounting brackets for the various bits of hardware?

I swapped from small block to big block. I go tall the brackets from the good folks on here. POst a WTB add in the for sale section. You should see some offers here as well.
