302 Engine Swap

Hey, so I recently bought a 78 f150 with a 302 engine, found out its seized so I want to do an engine swap. Found a 302 out of a a 71 f150, just wondering if it will just bolt up to the automatic transmission and fit on the engine mounts. Also wondering if alternator and power steering mounts are the same/interchangeable.

Be sure the water pump on the replacement engine is exactly like the original. Also the distributors, and exhaust manifolds. Everything else should fit.
