The easiest way to tell IMO is to see if it has a/c and heater delete.
To be honest, this car, even if it was a real L88, will probably never be worth the price of an L88. If there is no build sheet or other documentation, there is no proof it was really an L88. Without having the original engine with the correct vin#, even if it was truely an L88, it would be considered by the rest as an L88 clone. IMO it is not worth the extra money..

It would have no radio with a block off plate. I would have power J 56 brakes.

They had to have heat. It was a federal law that in 68 and newer cars had to have a defroster to be used on the highway. The L88 cars did have the dual pin J56 calipers and power brakes plus a bunch of other things. Should have a single 3/8 fuel line.
