I wouldn't replace a floor for that small of a rusted out area....but I'm a big believer in keeping as much original metal as possible. Actually, my '68's floors had just a little 'lace' showing where the front passenger side floor meets the toe-board. I cut it out and replaced just that area with some sheetmetal.
If I had it to do again, I would have just used the POR-15 floor kit to fill those tiny pinholes. http://www.por15.com/FLOOR-PAN-TRUNK-KIT_p_61.html

I agree with Greg, keep as much of original floor as possible. Let me know if you need a piece that has a particular shape, I might have a solid section on one of my cut pieces.

This is what I did with the trunk pan in my convert. It had 30 , more or less pin holes in the pan. After pulling the fuel tank, I put several coats, 2 each side, of POR 15 until all holes were sealed. I think the instructions said not to put 2 coats on a surface, but haven't had an issue.
