I donīt exactly know where they are located yet. The bridge is some what bending upwards. It is not coming loose.

If it is 70's Japanese build, the glue used might be an issue. If you try it and it doesn't work because of the original glue, it is then a less than trivial task to remove the brace, scrape the glue, and replace or reglue the brace.
Regarding top cracks near the bridge... Top cracks SHOULD BE FIXED ASAP whenever possible, no matter where on the top they are. This isn't too difficult, but there are a few ways for newbies to screw up.
If the bridge is solid and geometry is acceptable, the bridge needn't be removed. For your guitar, I cannot judge need to remove bridge or not from just a few words on the screen, however.
