Front suspension question...

I just purchased a 87 TII as a parts car. Im planning on using this vehicle for my NA/TII swap. The only thing is that the TII has some front driver side damage. My question is.....are the front...tie-rods, control arms, and front steering suspension that same or interchangable w/ my NA parts?

but the steering parts will only work if they're both power, or non power steering, right?

also, are the steering arms(part going from the strut, to where the tie rod connects) the same between non power, and power steering cars? wouldn't the power steering ones be shorter?

Yes, the steering racks would be the only differences, but some N/a's had power, so, I figured that much would be obvious.
