if the hump doesnt bolt in on the four wheel drive then pretty much yes, gas pedal mounting is about all i can think of

the 4x4 will have a bolt in high hump floor for the trans hump. The 2 wheel drive will be a low hump unless it was a big block or a 4 speed. Either swap the bolt on high hump, or cut out the low hump and bolt on the 4x4 high hump.
The 70 will have a throttle rod, and the 71 a cable. You can rig the 70 to work like the 71, but to make it look and fit like a real 71, you'll have some cutting and welding to do.
The 71 will have a raised mounting pad for the rear view mirror, the 70 won't have the raised pad.... but who cares.
