Did Plymouth have a equivalent Barracuda A66 or A93?
You could get a 340 in the Cuda right from the start whereas the Dodge boys didn’t launch the Challenger with the 340 even available in the JS cars until they saw that Plymouth did so they threw together the A66 340 performance package for the JH cars. No A66 package was necessary for Plymouth.
The A93 was available on all B & E bodies for ‘70/1 and was known as the Coupe Package.

The A66 340 Challenger package was announced on 7/23/69 and was not actually available until early September.
The idea of a 340 Challenger came late and Mopar had to use decals rather then metal call outs on the hood until almost December when metal call outs finally became available.
(As I said previously; An A66 with the A93 option was rare with only 2 accounted for from what I have read).
