Default CMI E-Top Install on 496 Mag

I have found a nice set of CMI e-tops but i need a few of the brackets all of which i can purchase. Not sure if i will need to relocate the shift cables and ECM for this installation, the CMI install guide shows they are required but a couple of the big name marine supply shops have different opinions. Anyone done this installation before? My engine is a 03 model 496 Mag.

Are they for a 496? or are they for a standard big block? I dont think they are interchangeable.

They are for the 496 i sent the photos and measurements to CMI to confirm they were correct and for the standard 8.5" riser.
