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?

You could read about it and learn from that and your photos. Or you could get a light meter, read how to use it and learn from that and your photos. Also, BTW, there were automatic exposure cameras long before the 90’s. I had a semi-auto one from the 70’s, the Canon AE-1. You pick the aperture, it picked the shutter speed. OR, you pick the shutter speed and it picked the aperture. Or you went manual mode and did it all yourself. Decent consumer level camera, not a professional camera. There were similar things in the 50’s and 60’s also.
