Transfer case, ignition switch, steering box

I have two F250s. A 1987 460 gasser, automatic 4x4 and a 1989 7.3 diesel, 4x4 manual. I would like to take the transfer case, ignition switch and steering box out of the '87 gasser and install them in the '89 diesel. I know the ignition switch and steering box will work just fine but I am not sure about the transfer case.
Is the transfer case identicle between the auto and the manual?
Any suggestions for easing the removal and installation of the three components?

Use a new ignition switch, or at least, if you insist on using a used part, make sure it wasn't the subject of one of Ford's many "ignition-switch-sets-the-vehicle-afire" recalls.

And don't add any accessory load current to the ignition switch. Use relays.
