oval bushings

I am preparing to rebuild the front end on my 1970 Cutlass and have found on the lower control arms I have round bushings in the front and oval in the rear. Is this a problem? Does anyone make a kit set up like this or should I try to find lowers that are round front and back?

That is the typical setup on Olds A Bodies. The oval bushings are readily available.
