I can't tell you if it will all bolt up, but somebody here should be able to help. You might have to drill a few holes for the trans crossmember. Once you get everything in place, you can either have a drive shaft made or find one in a wrecking yard and have it modified. You might be able to get away with shortening the drive shaft that's in the 79...I would try that first.
