My guess is that its either I010 or I108 which is the body sequence number they used at Van Nuys. Thats a real early 69 built at Van Nuys. Probably one of the first 400 or so.

Engine photo shows a small block with a B&M blower.

doesn't the upper pipe on the A/C box turn toward the air cleaner on a BB?

Re: 1969 SS/RS Camaro & 409 Impala SS - auction
 

BB AC goes away from the eng, it's a tight enough fit with that, Small Block AC is turned toward the eng bay. That's a Big Block A/C box as others have stated here.

Better tell GM that they made a mistake on UPC C60, sheet D2! Oh, if small blocks turn toward the engine - then they made another mistake on C60 sheet D1.

Not true...that's a s/b evaporator box. While it seems logical that the POA valve would be on the outside of the box for the larger b/b motor, the General did not do it that way. I have never heard a plausible reason for this.
