Old school urethanes either have a pancake, or if they have a core like the Blue Hammer, it is pretty mild by today's standards.
As xxxrevs describes, a label layout was 1st choice (CG in palm or 1/2" moved towards PAP for some side weight, pin - on the Faball Hammers these have the same color as the surface, beware - at 45° towards PAP from there), and an axis setup (with a balance hole) something for a more arcing curve.
Since most balls were in the 0-2" pin range, options were and are limited, too, and you will probably hardly see much effect of an exotic layout, since most of the balls movement actually comes from the surface prep and its friction on the lane.
I'd go for a strong label setup.
