Default 67-68 cowl replacement kit

I see an entire replacement kit for the top and bottom sections of the 67-68 cowl. My question is this. How does the cowl on a 67-68 differ from a 66. Can this kit be adapted or does the design differ too much?
My 66 needs the typical bottom sections replaced from what I can tell with it assembled. There is also some rust holes on the top half along the sides just above the spot welds. Can I cut the sheet metal from this kit and use it verses finding a donor 66 to get the sheet metal in the shape I need to fix the upper section?

the upper is different but the lower can be used i think only one or two holes are different according to an article i read

for the hole on the upper part just weld in some new patches while u have it apart

I am currently in the middle of a cowl project and though I'm not sure of the measurements the panel looks right except the opening on the base, and the indentation between the wiper arm openings.
