They were inline F-1 and pressure-fed boosters up through 1972. They went with the parallel SRBs because of lower development costs, but I don't think air-starting the SSME was ever thought to be an issue back then. Once we had an SSME that was designed to only be ground-started then adapting it for air starts became a problem.
