I bought the Lee Valley Drawer Lock bit (16J76.62) and I am perplexed about how to set it up properly for 3/4" fronts and 3/4" sides. The double profile bit is 3/4" high. I sure would appreciate some guidance.

Too bad, Lee Valley doesn't give any instructions at all. That is surprising.
Rockler has excellent full color instructions on their site in a PDF file. The bit should work identically to your Lee Valley. Ignore the instruction to use their Jig-it. Make some test cuts in for both faces and adjust the height until the pieces fit together properly. The idea is that you set the height once and use the same setting for both boards that will fit together for the drawer. Be sure you use good technique and consistent pressure when using the bit.
Perhaps the setup instructions for their small drawer lock bit would be similar (item 16J76.72).
