69 and 70 are different than 72 and up not sure about 71, but I belive 71 is same as 72+. I know the 69/70 brackets are hard to find and are getting up there in price.

The 69 bracket bolts to the side of the head. The later style bolts over the valve cover onto the intake manifold.

69-70 has a bracket that bolts to the intake and goes over the top of the valve cover.

You may be right on that. My '69 had an Edelbrock on it when I got it. The bracket over the valve cover was not there. I just assumed it was not correct for that year. Tell you the truth, probably the last time I looked at the AC setup of a '69 - was somewhere around 1969. Either way, my didn't have the manifold bracket on it when I got it, probably won't have it when done either.
