Cool power steering compatability

my 1988 RX7 w a 13b n/a came to me with no power steering and no air conditioning.The question is ..will the steering components from a 1st gen be able to install into my 2nd gen.I guess i will need it all...brackets high and return hoses,pump... still have to check the rack ..haven't got in for a real close peak yet but im going for it all if need be.I like highway cruising but i hate having to use Arm strong steering in town ..would rather have the power steering ..i'm not really out for power yet just the enjoyment of having a 7 right now is enough for me.any erplys at all will be appreciated guys!thanks!!!!!

No, the 2 systems are entirely different. FC is rack and pinion, FB is recirculating ball.

will it fit though?

thanks Trocoid for answering ..just another quick question if I may..will it fit though ..if I swap out the rack, will the rack mount on and will the bracket fit the holes on the engine? If not any Canadian owners have a 2nd gen used system they might be able to part with..might be until the end of the month before this thing (88 RX7 ..13b n/a) gets to see a shop where I can do this any how)..THANKS..Eatin' bacon,growin' trees and building Igloos!..Dave!..aka..misterstyx69
