My research for my ‘71 was 5536 front and 5409 rear, but I don’t know if it’s the same for your ‘69.
Engine size and with / without AC affect vehicle weight, and therefore the springs required for the specified ride height.

I have a 350, AC, aluminum intake, and headers. The intake and headers are lighter than the factory parts, but overall in factory form a 455 is only around 60-70 pounds heavier than a 350, so not really that much of a difference.

I have an aluminum intake as well so they probably would be fine. I recently changed out my rear springs. I had no question as to whether they were worn as one side sat lower. They measured up different when removed. My front springs sit even. Is there a better way to determine if they are worn? I have all new suspension (except springs) and a sway bar. Is driving it the basic way, if it leans too much? That is without removing them and testing them.
thanks,
Steve
