Hi guys,
I am replacing the passenger side floor pan in my 1979 Malibu coupe. I got the floor pan welded in and now its time to tackle the braces.
I got this brace:

But despite the pictures, it didn't come with the 2 end pieces. I wasn't counting on them for the price versus other sources.
I need to figure out what to do for the end pieces. The car was originally a bench seat car, but I plan to run a single bucket seat (its basically a drag racing car now).
So, do I absolutely need these end pieces? It doesn't look like they do much for structural rigidity.

Or should I ditch them and get these instead?

(Sorry for the long link).
Or do I need something else?
Thanks in advance for the help!
