Manual vs. power steering, parts?

I'm getting ready to put a steering setup on my 64 short fleet, and need some advice. It has a full pro street 2x5 tubing frame with the front crossmember and suspension of a 1977 pickup. It has a power rack and pinion setup right now, but it doesn't work well in this application. I'd like to go to a stock non-power box and full cross-steer setup from a 73-87 style. My question is, is the tie rod, pitman, idler, drag link, etc all the same for power and non-power? Also, does a manual box need a shim or anything like that? Any help at all would be great, thanks!
