I've always wondered that too. If you can switch them, which I suspect you can, you'll also need to switch the master cylinder. I'm not sure if the brake lines will match up, so you'll obviously want to take a look at that first.
The reason I wondered is because I've considered switching an 87 back to the -86 type booster and master cylinder. A couple years ago the 87-89 master cylinders were on national backorder for roughly 3 months, and I needed to fix my 87 convertible. I ended up just waiting. I also think the -86 master cylinder is better quility then the 87-89 master cylinder. You rarely hear of an -86 car needing a master cylinder, but 87-89 cars seem to need master cylinders every 100k or so.
