Classic Industries has the emissions decal (DC666) that goes on the radiator shroud for your 1969 Camaro:

I found a posting about Hurst shifters on another website:

https://www.camaros.net/threads/question-about-original-hurst-shifter.200444/

The posting details differences between Hurst shifters installed by GM and shifters that you could buy from Hurst.  With a date code from 1968, your Hurst shifter was probably bought from Hurst.  The factory installed Hurst shifters for the 1968 Firebird had 5/16" threads, according to the catalog I have from Classic Industries.  My friend's 1968 Z28 had a Hurst shifter when he bought the car from the original owner in 1970 and it had a Hurst T-Handle. 

CRG information on shifters used on 1967-1969 Camaros, along with comments of the shifters used on similar year Firebirds:

Badshifter - Impressive results on your rebuilt 302.  Hearing the engine on the dyno was a treat!  Brings back memories of my friend's 1968 Z28. - Mark

CRG only lists code WT for the master cylinder with casting number 5460346:

Looks like the master cylinder that sold recently on eBay:

The link below shows the location of the clutch pedal switch and also a source for a replacement switch:

I had a similar problem with my 1979 Trans Am and I replaced the clutch pedal switch, then replaced the ignition switch in the steering column, followed by installing a new Delco solenoid.  The car still would sometimes not start and the problem was solved when I bought a new battery.  Even though I kept the battery charged, it apparently didn't have enough amperage to engage the starter.  I also checked the battery cables and ground wires and they were okay before I started to replace parts.  Good luck as electrical problems are no fun! - Mark

I bought an assortment of snap rings for about $7 from O'Reilly Auto Parts.

In 1969, emission controls were standard in all 50 States per the CRG information below:

John - Jerry MacNeish's 1969 Camaro Fact Book has information on the broadcast sheet codes according to the website below:

In 1969, GM was still building vehicles at the Fremont and South Gate assembly plants, so engines were being shipped from the Tonowanda engine plant and also sent to Van Nuys.

Van Nuys started using the just-in-time (JIT) inventory system when producing the 3rd generation Camaro/Firebird.  Due to the initial high demand, the plant was producing vehicles on two nine hour shifts daily.  As part of the JIT system, critical item reports were produced each day and due to the additional computer programs, we only had a 1 1/2 hour window to complete all of our processing.  The actual production report was transmitted using a phone modem.  The first thing I would ask each morning was whether the production report was sent to Corporate as the executive committee reviewed GM daily vehicle production as part of their set agenda.

I remember when GM had to charter a 747 freighter to send engines from Michigan to Van Nuys as it was determined it was cheaper to pay the shipping charges rather than stop the assembly line.  After a year, the divisions were still debating who was going to pay for the shipping charges!

I could only find one posting for tag # 3924704:
