On film-based cameras from the 90’s, there was no indication of how your picture would turn out with your given settings in manual mode. So how were these settings determined manually without the convenience of LCD preview screens that we have on modern digital cameras?

Most of it was the experience of the photographer and yes there were quite a lot of dud pictures.
There were light meters and on an SLR you can see to some extent how much light is being let in as you’re looking through the lens but it was a good guess or lots of practice to get consistent results.
