No for the drivers side , yes for the passenger side.
The passenger side is relieved for the AC vent actuator.
Sorry no pics avail from me.
Look at some of the vendors for comparison before you buy.

Yep. "Relieved" is being polite. They used a hack saw on them and were not pretty about it.

Thanks much I found an original one near me .I noticed on the one I found that the little open bars that you show to cut out go the other direction .
Also I am looking for the piece molded in the left rear fender where the exhaust bezel goes on a 68 or 69 .my car had side exhaust and I am returning it to rear exhaust if you know of any one that makes that piece .I had an old fender for the right one .
