Default Will a '68 Camaro COLUMN shift steering column swap into a floorshift car ez?

I'm not crazy lol.
I got a junky '68 camaro with a 250 motor & powerglide with floor shift that i dont drive in bad weather, but wont be restored bodywise while i own it, but it could use a rebuilt steering column. It has EXTREMELY high mileage.
My friend has a steering column that came out of an powerglide '68 camaro that had COLUMN shift - the column is in good condition.
Are the floor shift & column shift '68 camaro automatic steering columns identical in LENGTH & will the replacement swap in easily in my floor shift '68 camaro without any issues?
Can i assume the curved electrical plugs & wires are identical & the turn signal blinkers would work? They work now.
I have the horn wired to a separate non column button on the dash.
Of course i would remove the useless neutral safety switch on the replacement column. & leave off the column shift shift lever & center horn button.
Can i assume 6 cylinder vs 8 cylinder '68 Camaros got the same powerglide floor shift or column shift steering columns?

should be an easy swap
the hardest thing will be the rag joint. I found if you remove the bolt and put it in the other way it will act as a wedge and separate the clamp making for easy removal
