Planning to trade out the 400 for a 440 and would like to know if I can re-use my old linkages and brackets.  If not, where should I go for replacements?  Thanks

Brackets and stuff are the same for a while you keep same miscelaneous setup ( A/C or not ).

Depends of engine year, you can get different water pump housing, with lower water outlet on drivers ( pre 73 ) or passenger side ( post 73 ), so steering pump itself and brackets are different too. No prob anyway since you can fit the 400 water pump housing on the new 440 to match with your 73 brackets assembly setup and radiator.
