A/C Delete Box Differences?

A/C Delete Box Differences?
Forgive me if this has been addressed, but I looked through like 30 threads and couldn't find this answer. The pictures below are aftermarket fiberglass a/c delete boxes that accept the a/c blower motor fan. The first one shows a large raised triangle on right side mounting flange and the other does not have this. I noticed that the factory boxes seem to have this large triangle. What is this difference? I also found a seller with new gaskets that fit the "triangle" box.
I would be installing this in an 82 Trans Am and want to make sure I'm getting the right one if it matters. Thanks for the help!

FWIW....
1986 Assy Manual shows the black box configuration. I can't comment on whether or not this was the correct configuration throughout the 3rd Gen production.

Re: A/C Delete Box Differences?
Thanks for the input on that one! That's the one I'm leaning towards because I like the look of it, but if I need the other one, I'll live with the look I guess. I just can't imagine a triangular shaped cut out in the firewall, but I could be wrong. I have an 82 Trans Am and an 89 Firebird, both A/C cars and the firewalls look the same to me. I've had the a/c box out of the 82 before when I was painting the firewall, but for the life of me don't remember a hole that high.

Here are pics of it installed. I have since remove it and painted it black to match the firewall.

Re: A/C Delete Box Differences?
Im not 100% sure, but I know in the past when I have deleted A/C in past vehicles; 77 Monte Carlo, 77 Corvette, 72 Malibu, 70 Malibu, 69 Malibu, 68 Chevelle SS, the firewall is cut differently between a factory A/C and factory non A/C cars, they require a different box than what a factory non A/C car would have taken.
