Yes - none of the brochures showed the L78 396 option (Nova, Chevelle or Camaro) nor the LS6 for the '70 Chevelle.
AFAIK and this is speculation . . . both options defied corporate's ban of engines in mid sized cars that were less than 10 pounds per 1 horsepower. Yet in 1966 the L79 was in the Chevy II brochure.
