Do bucket seat tracks mount in the same holes as bench seat tracks in a 70 RR/Satty?

I'm swapping out the bench seat for buckets that I bought from a member here. I haven't gotten under the bench seat or car to measure yet and I'm wondering if it's a straight swap.
Also, the tracks are in a box with all the loose hardware, unassembled. The FSM doesn't really get into the detail about how they go together along with the seat latch release mechanism to get into the back. Anyone know any resource for that?

Also, I'll be listing for sale, my front bench and the rear bench I got with the buckets once I do the swap. Both are in excellent condition, ready to install. White, front bench has the headrests in exc condition too. Won't have pics of the front bench till next weekend. Haven't figured out a price yet.
 
Believe the front buckets utilize the two outside holes from the bench and then the inside holes will need to be drilled. I know on the A body, they had reinforcements that went on the floor for the bucket seat studs, but I am unsure what the B body did.
 
There are dimples in floor where the inner seat track bolts in. Drill out the dimples and weld in the floor braces that go there for the bucket seats.

I suspected that. I'm aware of the braces too. I don't weld. There are some threads that talk about reinforcing with steel plates bolted thru.
 
I didn't pay any attention to my OE when it went into the scrap dumpster, but the AMD repro came with the bucket braces already on the pan... did you look under your seat? Other than that, the buckets use the existing pan holes outboard and new holes to be drilled beside the hump for the inboards.

I haven't pulled out the bench seat yet or looked under the carpet. Was just trying to plan ahead. Thanks for the pic though.
