I can add a few things to the comments above.

My first ACC carpet was from OPGI and it was in a box for several years. I installed it but it didn't fit quite right over the transmission hump. (Floor shift). I found out after reading the directions I had a Chevelle carpet. My fault for not verifying I had the correct carpet, OPGI's fault for sending a Chevelle carpet.



The point is, not all A body carpets are the same. Even within makes, there are differences. Automatic or manual, floor shift or column. Make sure you order the right one (year, model, transmission type) and then verify when you receive it. Not after you cut it like I did.
The next ACC carpet from Ames was spot on.

Secondly, there is a procedure for cutting the carpet for the seat brackets. The brackets go under the carpet, not on top. It takes a few minutes more to do it right but it looks 100% better.

The front carpet goes under the toe plate and the front firewall pad.






On a two door A body I've found that the rear of the front carpet is usually parallel with the Fisher Body emblem on the sill plates. Adjust and cut as necessary to insure sufficient material is under the firewall pad.

Thanks! Another great response! I’ll keep these things noted when installing carpet after the floor pan install
