1969 88 Convertible

I just purchased a complete Center Console and Bucket seats from a 70 Cutlass to replace my bench seat w/Column shifter. Center console is complete with shifter, shift cable, 350 trans bracket, and wiring.
Will oem Cutlass shift cable work, or will it possibly be too short. If too short is there an oem number for Delta equivalent cable or other options?
Are there any referernce marks or dimples on the floor pan to aid in locating console mounting brackets and hole location for cable?
Also, are there any refence marks for bucket seat brackets. I did notice bucket seat tracks are approx. 1 inch shorter than my bench seat bolt location.(15 inches vs 16 inches) I understand that I will need to purchase new adapter brackets for inside seat tracks but need to ensure they are long enough.
All input is appreciated..

I've got a 1969 Delta Custom with buckets and console. The factory setup for your car used the 1967-69 short console and the bucket seats used different seat rails as you said. Here's the thread when I first looked at the car. It has a few photos of the interior. I'm sure you could make the 70-72 console work, but if you want to go with what was factory you might consider the shorty console. John

The buckets are the same for A-body and B-body, however seat tracks are different. The 1970 Delta used the same console as the 1970 Cutlass, and the 1969 and 1970 Delta floor pans are the same. The 1970 CSM does show that a different front mounting bracket is used on the B-body console installation.

Thanks for both of your responses.
That's a very nice 69 Delta.
The seats and console were a package deal and I plan on keeping it because I especially like the design. My interior color is parchment like yours.
I am in the process of doing a light restomod on my convertible, including things like muscle car sounding dual exhaust, American racing TTO wheels and wide tires. Dechrominng all outer trim including wheel wells and side trim etc..
Besides the seat/console swap, I am planning for new custom paint, new convertible top, Mondello Valve Cover install...
I am happy to learn that 69-70 floorpans are identical so console installation should be pretty straightforward.
I've ordered new 1969 bucket seat covers and foam from Legendary Interiors and have lined up a local auto upholstery shop to mount seatcovers
