The A body steering stops are supposed to hit the lower control arms. Any difference there would be related to size difference of aftermarket lower arm to the factory lower arm. It's possible you may have gained or lost a tiny amount.
You can cut that steering stop off to gain some additional steer. You just have to know that you've done it and make sure you're not always cranking on the wheel past its limits.
I have a remanufactured box in my bird that does not have internal stops like the F-body boxes are supposed to. As a result there's no steering stop in the system. It hasn't caused any issues for me, other than the ability to put the tire on the frame rails and high steering angles.
