Default Were these Braces only on Convertibles?

Do I need any of the dash braces shown in pic 2 & 3 - or are they only for convertibles? Mine is a 1969 Coupe BB with A/C and I have the horizontal brace shown in the pic 1.

Using the AIMs guide, I thought I need various dash braces to properly support my dash. Now I know I have seen some of these braces before, it could have been on my 73 BB vert or my borthers ....??? :confused: I do not have them and just wanted to verify what a long time vette parts dealer told me yesterday. This sounds good to me as I am just not the type to throw anything away - I keep most everything.

How much would adding these stiffen the ride of a coupe?

:D
