I agree the non-recessed wipers hide much better on a 70-72 with a cowl hood as the hood and fenderline is taller than a 68-69. On a 68-69, non-recessed wipers stick way up there above the hoodline.
I'm also for the idea of putting on whatever wiper motors you want, but wrapping up the arms and blades and keeping them in the trunk until you need them.
Depending on what your car has now though you may need new wiper arms and linkage, the arms and linkage are different between recessed park and non-recessed park. Recessed park wipers will have a smaller secondary link on the driver's side wiper arm, non-recessed park wipers are single arms on both the driver and passenger side wipers. The linkage inside the cowl is a bit different too.
