GM kept installing the bracket hardware after switching to the single long hood strut.
You can picked up the Sachs SG430011 struts off ebay for $8.53 ea.

90 hoods still have the strut attaching studs and all you need are the struts and retainer clips.
Later hoods you have to improvise the studs like I did in the photo above.
I used four 30 x 8 mm black oxide button head allen bolts and nylock nuts picked up at the local Sears HW store.
