No need to change the rods or damper. You have an Edlebrock manifold which was only used on the 69 A12 cars which used the standard but shot pened 440 HP rods. It's the main reason the 1969 A12's were so much quicker. The heavier (6bbl/six pack), rods were used in 70 -71, likely for warrantee reasons.
The holley 2bbl carbs are really easy to live with once setup, as long as you stick to the vaccuum actuated secondaries.
But I think your choice to keep the GT more original is a wise one.
A new aftermarket 6bbl set up like you show will set you back around $2500.00.
List it on ebay with a reserve or a BIN option.
