Default 69 Camaro DISC BRAKE OPTIONS

Was there ever an option to have manual disc brakes on 69 Camaros? SS L78, L89 and L72 cars. Thanks.

Can an ss or COPO cars be ordered with front drum brakes. Are there any exceptions or "weird" cars out there.

Basically the issue is we don't want run a Power Brake booster J52, and to make the car "legal" to race rules are stating we have to.

The two 69 cars in question are a SS L89 and a COPO

It would also be to your advantage to run drum brakes that can be adjusted for no drag vs. the constant drag of the discs.

We have wilwood brakes on it now. If I can prove a car came without the booster then it will let us run without one. Or if you could get the manual drums in the front then we wouldn't have to run one. As we are allowed as per the rules to upgrade the brakes.
