Good point about the 68 and earlier Auto + AC cars having 2.93's versus 3.23 in 69 and up. I've had two 68's with auto and air and they had that 2.93, nice cruising gear but it definitely took away that snappy off the line musclecar feel!
I get the symmetry thing! That's why I always preferred the look of two non-remote mirrors rather than the look of just one remote or non-remote or worse a remote on the drivers side and a non-remote on the passenger side. A passenger mirror was not offered from the factory but many dealers would slap on a non-remote (it could fit either side unlike the remote which only fit on the drivers side).
