Fit up nice on my '69 I can send you some installed photos if you would like but pretty much dropped in for me. Only problem I had was some previous damage to the cowl / firewall area but nothing to do with the inners. Purchased from a dealer off the board. No experience with others. At least a couple of people on the board who are dealers for AMD.

Also, check your braces from the rockers to the frame rails, they are usually butchered also. Any A-Body from 67-76 will have the parts you need, just sawzall or torch and have fun! The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!

I took my time and used LARGE Vise GRIP C-Clamps I got from the local "Tool Shed" in town. Other retailers sell them also.One thing I do recommend is take measurements BEFORE you begin the Surgery. Cross measurements diagonally to a reference point to another and paralell too.It will save you headaches in the long run when you spot weld the new panels in.Go slow and you will get it done.... Do Something..Lead..Follow..or get the {Beep} out of the way..
