Caliper location question

Ok, that solves question 1. I'm assuming this was accomplished by using the driver's side hub/disc on the passenger's side and vice versa. Question 2: I have a sway bar and I know the links won't fit with the calipers in the front. Are there smaller links for 73+ that work with the calipers in the front? Clearly there would be interference in the current setup. Does it hurt anything to keep the calipers the way they are now?
