Will 3 port rack and pinion work on a 2 port system?

I found a reman 3 port rack for a good price and i wanted to see if it was possible to use it on an s5 2 port system by plugging one of the ports. Im not sure if there is any other difference on the internals between these two racks so i wanted to check before i wasted my time and money on this. and it would be great if I could use that reman and get the car on the road again.

Thumbs up rack

Im not 100% sure but i dont think it will work.
I was wanting to do the opposite but everyone told me I couldnt.

If your interested I have a good 2 port power rack off a s5 that I can sell you no leaks.

Yes you can, I have a 3 port on my RX7, plugged the left one with a washer and nut. It works perfectly fine.
