Regardless...the 3/8" fuel line could have been added easily during the resto.
Did you state the car is badged as an ss..?? Another item to look at is the transmission cross member...pretty sure the th400 version is unique. I'll bet it has a th350 crossmember...
Based on your assessment that the car has not been modified to accept the a/c system...it is really telling me this was a converted car. Does the engine block have the large plug by the oil filter?? This was unique to the high horse big blocks...you may have a 4 bolt block with low horse parts bolted on....or whoever stamped the motor didn't know what they were doing.
Why not post some photos of the car and re-take a good image of the deck stamp...the gang here can help sort this out for you. There may be an syc member near you who could take a look.

Trying to see if the picture is attached, I apologize for the "dirty grime". It's been leaking oil since I got it but not bad enough to pull the motor out yet. And I drive the car regularly. It was late when we got home last night and I ran out to take these pictures.
