first mustang

Sorry if not posted in the correct thread category, as I'm not on this site very often. Any who, I have a 1979 Pace Car - 302 automatic. Had not been on road or registered and had set since 1988 until I bought it. A Complete car but rough, not really rust wise, was just everything in general. Being a G body Oldsmobile guy, I don't know much about Mustangs except what I research and only know a little to be dangerous. Engine and Transmission was fortunately good, which was a surprise and did the norm to get it running good, gas tank, carb etc. etc.
MY QUESTIONS - Exhaust - I assume originally a single exhausts were used regardless of engine size? Was it the same single exhaust as on a 1974 -1978 v8 car? Or would the single exhaust on a 302 other Ford model be the same length bend etc. for a one piece unit?
Is there vendors who sell the entire unit from the manifolds to the back of the car?
ALSO - I'm missing one exterior trim piece- the lower hatch window trim - was the lower piece on a trunk model the same? Was the hatch back 74-78 trim pieces the same at the hatch window?
I apologize as I'm learning as I go along?
Thanks for anyone's time.
