Default Which power antenna is the correct one?

My girlfriend bought me a TA/firebird power antenna off ebay. It looks just like this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...sspagename=WDVW
Here is one pictured in a install page. Its installed in a Camaro

You can't really see the motor but the bracket is definitely different than the one pictured in the first link on ebay. I've seen two different part numbers listed. I'm trying to figure out which one is right. The one i have is 10402860. Which one is correct? Also if the first one is right where does it mount to?

GM part numbers for the Firebird power antennas:
10269280 = 1993-1996, some 1997s
10402860 = 1998-2002, some 1997s

cj428mach@yahoo.com. I've seen two install guides but none have pics of where exactly the 98+ antenna bolts too. I don't see any place it can.
