The repro pad layout looks good to me but it appears to be a 56 pad with the two slots for the brake suspension brackets. The 55 brake pedal arrangement is different with the single bracket above and to the right of steering column. From the looks of the photos I borrowed from the AC install manual you may need to be prepared to cut a square opening in the pad just to the right of the inward slot to accommodate the bracket.
I don't have a regular pad but for reference here is one that was on a 56 Factory AC car that had the AC modifications cut into the pad. The non AC cars do not have the two extra holes for the blower and evaporator tubing on the left side. The right side air vent opening is closed on this pad but would be open on a non AC car.
