How do you align reproduction decals to original specs?

I'm getting my 92 Formula 350 repainted, and I bought a decal kit from PhoenixGraphix.com. Maaco is doing it, but they don't like the decals, because they don't come with alignment marks like the overpriced GM ones do. Is there a source of information available with measurements from doorlines, weatherstrips, etc? Without this information, it would be hard to place the decals exactly where the factory placed them. Thanks.

On my '86 IROCZ I copied the measurements from an original '86 IROCZ at a show.

Thanx,ANDYZ28

That's a good idea. Unfortunately, it turns out they only made 1013 92' Formulas, and I haven't seen any others around here. Is there any other way to get the measurements?

The GM shop manual gives measurements.
