Been working on that swap between many other things. A few new holes need to be drilled in the mounting bracket, you will have to fab the rod between the pedal and booster, plus remember to drill a hole 1 1/4 down from the manual hole on the brake pedal for P/B. That way the leverage is correct.
No I don't have pictures but line stuff up and it is really obvious what needs to be done

i swapped in a booster and aluminum master cylinder from an '82 into my '72. all i had to do was drill 2 top holes in the bracket. the rod fit just fine that came on the booster. the only thing i had to change was the plastic tube that seals to the firewall since i already had power brakes i used the tube from my old booster. got the booster and master cylinder at o'rielly's for about $100 bucks. hope this helps

Here's one for sale, lol. Ready to bolt on and go. I had this on my 67 and it works great with no problems!
