You have bigger problems than the pillar. Your cowl side panel is a plain piece of sheetmetal pop-riveted in place. This means the whole structure of the cowl is dangerously weak.

The pillar part you need is listed in the Glazier/Nolan Mustang Barn catalog as G10932. The side cowl you need is G10860. You need to look over the rest of the car. The photos you posted show criminally-poor quality repairs. Much more of that and you could die in the car just hitting a pothole.

That area should look like this:

OK, an annoying project, but do-able. Support the frame rail while you cut the A pillar and cowl side off.

I would. A brace clamped to the A pillar pinchweld to the rocker would do.
