Do you have the steering wheel yet? You may be able to simply attach the new wheel to the existing column. If not, you may be able to purchase an adapter. If you end up swapping the column, I would get a manual, as it's a somewhat involved job. Check to see that the '71 wheel will not fit before proceeding.
