There is nothing special about a c900, it's just like aligning any domestic cars from the '60s. It's possible they saw the shims in the upper a-arms and decided to bow out. Most places don't have and can't get those shims, so camber/caster are effectively impossible to set. You might be well served by hitting a junkyard and stocking up on some of those shims to provide to a shop.
Chances are the camber/caster do not need to be adjusted - since very few shops do it, it's not typically terribly out of whack. You could always tell them you just need a toe adjustment and then look at the final to be sure camber/caster are ok. Anyone can do a toe... tackle the camber/caster if & when it becomes necessary.
