AC Control cable size question

Anyone know if either of the heat only control cables will work for the one the factory AC needs?

I'm in the middle of a swap and I dont have the stock AC ones, but I do have the stock heat only ones and I'd like to know if I need to buy a new set or not, but I'm not at a point where I can dry fit the under-hood box.

I "think" they'll be too short. The A/C cable goes to the evaporator housing in the engine compartment so it has to go through the firewall. The cables for the heat only stay under the dash.
Factory A/C only uses one cable.
