If I'm not mistaken, they changed those brackets between 1968 and 69. Is this correct?

Can't really say.
But the blocks I have are '67, '63, and '68. So those are the end users.
Don't know if '69 and later are different. There never were integrated heads on L25 292s. It continued as the 4.8 Liter L6, only obsolete when Vortec 4200s hit the production line.
P/S+ A/C were extremely rare on 292s, as they were mostly in work trucks.
GM never developed a 4800 Vortec.

I'm thinking from my hunt for PS, that 69-72 was different than earlier years, but I believe that may be because of the water pump and thermostat housing. I bought a set of brackets while in FL this winter, they are still packed away somewhere in my trailer. I will post a picture of my setup, may not be able to tell much, if interested I can maybe get a better picture.

That is a very clean engine compartment!
