Default 1970 Coil springs

Just bought 70 Monte Carlo with 402 engine. Previous owner had a 350 and cut springs to lower front. Then he dropped 402 in and now wheels rub on turns. I find listings for small block(350) springs with air conditioning and big block springs(402) are the same(Moog 6330).
My monte does not have AC. Will these springs be to high?

Tbh from factory all first gen montes had a 4x4 stance. Best thing to do is in tall them and check height. If too high trim one half coil at a time till you reach desired height. Do not use a torch. Best method is a sawzall will a water hose running water on the spot you are cutting
