The HX suffix is for a 69 350/350hp with a/c and m/t used in the Vette. Is 21299 the last five of your VIN?

I don't follow the left side right side bit. Those two numbers should be on the stamp pad on the block in front of the passanger side head.

My reference says the "HX" suffix indicates it is a motor for:

'69 Corvette 350 ci / 350 hp w/ A/C and manual transmission
