340/360 exhaust manifolds A,B,C,E bodies the same ?

That's in part what I wanted to know. If using a set of 360 manifolds were close enough with lower cost. Thinking of buying 71 RR (no driveline) Want to install a 318/360. But did not know if I would need that special driver's side manifold to wrap around the steering shaft.

The 71 models don't wrap around, they look more like the 318 version. I would use the 360 manifolds and custom exhaust. the engine will run fine, and it is cheaper. The 68-70 340 was a 10:5 compression, the 71 on was 9:5, so the performance was ebbing anyway.
