The simple answer is no, unfortunately. They are different units with different mounting points and connection locations. Also, they are of different ratios - how many turns the rack & pinion is able to make. When replacing the rack & pinion unit, be sure to perform a wheel alignment afterwards. Also, if any of the power steering hoses look questionable, replace them at the same time to save on future labor costs.
