I believe some parts stores like Napa still sell Type A. I think you can even get it at some Wal-Marts if you can stand shopping there. Otherwise I would try ordering it online.
One of the first hits I got typing in "buy type A transmission fluid" but I would look around before ordering:

Good old Dexron ATF will work fine (it IS the replacement for type A) Unless you really want to run a labeled type a in there, which like you have found out is getting harder to find.

The diff types are important in a transmission because they operate at different temps. In your convertible top pump, any hydraulic fluid is fine...heat is a non issue. Any transmission fluid, power steering fluid or hydraulic pump fluid is just fine. Just dont use brake fluid as it will attack plastic and rubber parts.
