It's just a guess, but since these T-Tops were installed on hard top cars, you should get a blank ABS hard top headliner and cut it to size.

You'd still have to trim and reshape a T-Top one.

I'd just get the hard top and go from there since thats what they did for the C&C cars.

The shop I used left the original headliner board in the car and recovered it still attached because whoever installed it originally glued it in place. It won't come out without getting destroyed. Although it was a huge pain in the rear, they did a really good job.

Did you try Classic Industries? I was shopping there for my 89 GTA and they have quite a few headliner options for sale. I even checked for your car as well and there was some headliners there too
