As is often the case, you can check if the result is correct from the result itself.

Expressed in good old base-10, what is A and what is B? What is C = A - B? Now how is C expressed in 1's complement?

Strictly speaking, your starting values for A and B are ambiguous. All signed-integer binary representations require a known, fixed width. Since A and B are different widths, we can't make the normal assumption that they are written in the proper width. Without being able to make that assumption, there is no reason to assume that the leading 1 in A is the msb of the representation.
