Throttle linkage & Cable brackets help. Please

Im in need of the brackets that bolt to intake manifold to hold the TV Cable and Throttle Cable in place. My question is can i use any brackets off of any year vehicle? I have a 91 trans am with a carbed 355.
Also i bought my holley 750 with a Ford kickdown setup. What do i need to buy to run my gm throttle cable and 700-r4 tv cable?
Thanks in advance

Need a cable from a 3rd Gen carb car or early TPI that fits on a ball stud like a carb uses

MY 86 LG4 throttle linkage is not a ball stud style linkage. The carb uses a stud with a retaining clip to keep the linkage from sliding off. The TPI throttle cables tend to bind because of their length so most people swap them out for a throttle cable from an LG4 car.
