OGL Ancients - Armour

The book mentions that if you exactly match the DC to have the attack hit your armour that it strikes your helmet and does not extra damage and is not considered a crit....but what if you aren't wearing a helment? Does it hit your head or your armour? Any ideas or did I miss this in the book?

If you are talking about a Coverage check while not wearing a helmet, then rolling exactly 20 will result in the armour being hit, not your head. The helmet rule is only there so your helmet gets hit occasionally... (IMO)

Not entirely. A helmet gives you +1 to your armour's Coverage bonus, remember. So, if the attack would have bypassed your armour if not for the helmet's contribution to Coverage, then the attack hits the helmet.
