The center links are a different length.  the early A s are narrower....

There also isn't an idler arm that will work with that combination. So, the short answer is no.

I put a complete stock disc setup from a 74 Duster on my 63 Dart. Everything fit perfectly

Is there a reason you need the later linkage and can't use the earlier stuff?

at the time i didnt know that you could use later tie rod ends with the earlier drag link . but found out by taking old parts to the store and having them pull the later ones to see if there is a differance and there isnt
