I have the Chilton manual and the GM factory assembly manual and find that the Chilton manual is a cut down version of the factory assembly manual. I also have the 3rd book from your links, the Camaro Restoration handbook and found it ok, some good tips here and there but overall hit and miss... i.e you got to one section and realise they've covered it off in very little detail but then another section will give you a great way to resolve and issue you're facing. I reckon the factory assembly manual could be the trick for you? Failing that, you'll want to cut the yellow wire and tie the orange and red together. That always solves any situation.

I've got these & found them invaluable in restoring my car, as they show where all the stupid little bits go.

This is that book at Amazon, but with no picture of the cover

I also used the factory assembly manual, which is very useful, it even gives the panel gaps.

I know you've a '69 Bird, but to all intents & purposes, there's not a great deal of differences.

I'm sure with a bit of searching you can find this stuff over here, plus there's ebooks available on line.

hope that helps
