On a first guess, I would say that the long rod would need to mimic the shape of the factory rod from the clutch pedal arm to the "Z-Bar" (to get thru the firewall properly and work).
The info does not say what the diameter of the rod is but it looks like it is a larger diameter and a unnecessary size increase.
How it attaches to the Z-Bar is a question. same deal with the Pushrod.

The Pushrod for the bell housing throw out bearing "fork" has a special small diameter pin that fits the lower hole of the Z-Bar and allows adjustment.

The lengths are designed for proper geometry for the Pontiac Clutch linkage.

That would be enough reason for me to not use the parts in the link as they expect you to do the engineering on their basic hardware for a Pontiac fit.

The are coming out and telling you that you have to mod their basic parts. Buyer beware.
