There were two types of production rubber snubber, so your description of a rectangular hole with a hole each side suggests that either type (whatever you can find reproduction) should fit. The thread in the link above has pictures that may clarify, like Hans' picture, second last post.
Not going to disagree with previous advice, but to my way of thinking, if GM put a snubber there from the factory to prevent the rear end bottoming out, and yours is missing, I think an occasional bottoming out is to be expected, not necessarily a sign the springs are sagging.
But the AIM has ride height dimensions, so you could check that way if the car sits too low.
