What is the difference of the bracket on the firewall between manual and power brakes.  I currently have manual drums and want to convert to a factory power disc brake setup.  Do I need to change the bracket on the firewall?

Thanks!

Yes, you'll need to switch the firewall bracket as well.

This is a power brake one from a 70 in top pic.
Lower is manual. Only pic I have of that style.

If you go to hydroboost brakes I believe hydratech sells an ebody firewall bracket? Not sure what the cost difference would be from converting to stock power brakes vs. hydroboost?
