Good news on your compressor: the same one - the RV2 -was used from 1961-78. Should not be too difficult nor expensive to find. Rebuilt ones are typically under $150. Remember you will need a dryer and possibly an expansion valve, too. Neither will be difficult to obtain. Apparently a number of changes were made mid-year on '69's. At least that is the experience of a friend who owns one who has discovered a number of things were changed in later cars after his shop manual was printed, and in comparison with another '69. You would do well to record the last 6 digits of your serial number, and/or find out the build date on your car. These will help in ordering parts.
