Essentially, yes, and it was usually easier to retro-fit AB brakes on flat and house cars than on tank cars because there were substantial underframe cross-ties and side sills to which mountings for the AB reservoir and valve could be attached. There was a lot of variation in where those components were located, however, so it's best to have photos if you can find them.
