Found this with internet search:

Front: 1/16" toe in, -1 degrees camber 4-6 degrees caster, 24 lbs tire pressure

Rear: 1/16" toe in, -2 degrees camber, 32 pounds tire pressure

There is write up on Knowledge center for IRS models too - #169

Thanks!

I went back to tiresplus but still they weren't able to do it.

Will it be OK to align it as a 67 beetle?

I don't think so because you have a link pin front suspension; '67's already had ball joint front ends.
