Default 1975 Formula 350 ' L76'

I picked up a dealers book for 1976 Pontiac's a while ago, and have enjoyed flipping through it;
I'd really like to get others, but generally the "price of admission" is such that I cannot justify it.
Recently, while flipping through this album, I realized that the 'L76' 350-4bbl engine wasn't available in 1976 (at least not on the Firebird).

I previously knew that this engine option returned for 1975 after being on hiatus since the end of the 1969 model year, so I just assumed that it was available through to 1977 in the Formula.

Are there any break downs of 1975 L76 versus L30 Formulas?

I don't have any good 1975 model year stuff which might have spelled out option limitations on the L76 engine;
What if any were there?
Was it a Formula only option, or was is it available in lesser models?
