Default Under Dash Brace Rods

I'm trying to find more information on the under dash brace rods for my 69 convertible. I've looked at the diagram on p. J50 in the ***'y manual, but my car has some significant differences, ie. the. #4 Bracket that's depicted...I don't have that. Maybe 4 out of 5 is not bad...

A/C option may be the difference ?

In my 72, there are 3 braces. 2 tubes on the pax side and a rod on the driver side. Only on factory a/c convertibles.

Sorry they're a little messy- gets that way when changing wiring harnesses. You kind of need to look close to see the support rods, but they were installed and no need for me to remove them. Bolt direction is also critical at the steering column support due to wire harness routing.
