Honestly I think it'll be fine. Glad I caught it though, otherwise it could've been bad.
For the intake manifold? I don't remember, I'd have to double check.
Looks like it was part #12686561
The one you show is for a LS7

That LS3 manifold is a top performer especially for the money
For reference, door side windows from 2-door 78-81 LeMans, 78-80 buttless Cutlass and Buick Century slant-backs share the same glass as 2-door Malibu. That's about your only chance.
Tinted: 20152410 (pass.) and 20152411 (driver) part numbers. 20152408/09 for clear.
To contrast, 78-80 Monte Carlo used 20152414/15 for tinted, and 20152412/13 for clear, as well as the other notchback A-bodies of that era that wasn't a Malibu or LeMans. In 81-88 they had another part number for all the 2-door G-bodies. That may just have been for a tint change or manufacturer change or whatever. Not sure of the exact differences.

Sorry, yes intake manifold.
Thanks for info. I bought and returned one already and just want to avoid another issue.
So I was thinking about my planned trip the other day. I know, you could see the smoke rolling out 🤣 but really everything is new on the car. I'm not really concerned about a mechanical breakdown. If anything it'll be a flat tire that screws me up. Especially because of my wheel size, which is now necessitated by my brake size. I have two extra matching tires, might as well order a spare wheel. Get a tire mounted and I'll be all set. Look my wheels up, the backspacing I bought is no longer made 🤯 which means I'm SOL... contacted the company to see if they happen to have single laying around somewhere. Fingers crossed.
This is the part # 143-8961GMML0
Zero offset, 5.25" backspacing.

I bought something called Flat out for slow leaks and/or punctures. I'm going to try it on my Superduty pickup tire. If it works I'll let you know. Just an FYI
Just got the email back from the company. No longer in production, (which I knew) and not available at all. Going to keep my eyes open on Ebay, see if someone posts one up from a broken set, or a single they had on display
