my beam in my 1970 bay has bit the dust. what beams are compatible with this one when im looking for a replacement?

1970-1979, but you'll need to re-use your arms and spindles.

that is what i was finding but just needed to confirm. thank you!

and the steering box'x are the same? if i get one from a bus that had power brakes that will still work too correct?

No, the boxes are different. But they bolt to the frame, not the beam.

If you get a 71+ beam, it will have a booster mount on it that you will need to remove.

Why remove the booster bracket Karl? it's quite a ways further back than the non power brake master cylinder, doesn't really interfere with anything and always a nice option if you want to uprade the brakes.
