06 LT Front Sway Bar install question

I recently picked up a factory 2006 SS/SC front sway bar off ebay, and I have a few questions I can't seem to find the answers for.

My car has the factory one bolt clamps on the front sway bar, while the SS/SC requires a 2 bolt clamp. Can I just buy the 2 bolt clamps, or does it require a whole new mounting bracket from the 2 bolt variety?

Or, in short form, what all do I need in order to convert my 1 bolt front sway bar to a 2 bolt SS/SC sway bar?

I already upgraded to Moog front end links, and as far as I can tell, they are the same length & are compatible with the SS/SC sway bar. Is that correct?

What clamp bolt? It is a direct fit but you will need the Fe5 endlinks along with the SS/sc sway bar bushings

The bar came with bushings. The clamps I'm referring to are the ones that go over the bushings. My factory ones are held on with one bolt rather than the two that hold the new bars bushings on. Will the two bolt clamps work on the old mounting location or is there a new bracket I need as well as the clamps?

I have done this on my car 07 ls and the 1 bolt clamp works fine all cobalt front sway bar bushings have the same out side dimensions. just put a piece of electrical tape around the the tab side of the clamp so it wont make any noise from flexing and taping the sub frame.
