The reman ACDelco steering box doesn't have the one stud used to mount the ABS bracket. I'm not sure what those 4 bolts on the top of the box do, so should I swap the stud over or is that a bad idea?

If it were me.
I would only remove only the one bolt and replace it with the stud.

I have done that numerous times. It will not cause any issues. It is probably overkill, and you could even skip swapping it, and just install the box. Often boxes will have the stud in other locations around the plate.
