Doc, you are right and as a AMCer, we usually have to make stuff fit, tweak and so forth. However, with carpet, there has been problems in the past. I quit carrying carpet kits in the mid 1990's for 68-74 AMX and Javelin. It had to do with quality, didn't matter whether loop cut or cut pile. The 100th AMC I owned in early 90s was a little 68 AMX, 343, AT. I am no stranger to installing carpets and bought this set from a major vendor in uh, the Sunshine State. I had it almost completely in and realized it was short. About 1/2 inch. I had to pull it all up, padding, glue, everything, rebox it, send it back, and wait for refund in 4 months. I ended up having it done locally. I would later find out that many carpet kits sit on shelves for months, years, and are exposed to heat, cold, humidity, everyting and you get what I sometimes call the NOS effect. You see it happen with NOS stripes and decals, whereas they have been sitting for decades, then once installed, and exposed to heat on a hot summer day at a show, they expand and crack. I could go on here about correct and incorrect parts, and reproduction items that are better than NOS and reproduction items that I throw in the bayou behind my house with the snappers!
