Window Sash Guide Replacement

Hello, I'm looking to replace my in-law's channel balances for their windows. For the last 10 or so years, they have used a stick to prop up most of their windows!
Just needed some advice on which take out clip, top sash guide, and channel balance to purchase:
1. Take out clip - ALL the windows did not have a take out clip attached, it was probably broken and thrown away in the last 10-12 years or so. Looking at the picture below, will the 16-002 clip work?
2. Top sash guide - many of the top sash guides are broken. The last picture of the top sash guide looks identical to part 18-008, so I assume this is the correct part.
3. Channel balance - The original channel balance is stamped 2740W and it is 28" in length. After some research it looks like the S390-28 with the 19-002 and 15-001 is the correct fit?
3a. Each window weighed on a scale is 20 pounds. Is the 2740 correct? Just want to make sure.
3b. How do I know the S390 is 100% the correct. I need to purchase 12 channel balances.
Thanks in advance!
