I know the SSID that I want to connect a wireless bridge to but not the MAC address of the transmitting unit since the units are changed out frequently. Is it possible to set up a wireless bridge by just knowing the SSID? It is a secured network and I have the login credentials?
 
yes. You need to know the SSID and the encryption password - same as if you were connecting via a laptop.
 
If you change out the anchor AP, you might have to reset the bridge (power cycle) for it to reattach to the anchoring AP.
 
Without knowing the SSID, it is impossible to connect the wireless bridge. So there is no other option instead of changing out the anchor AP. It will reset the bridge and with the help of it you will be able to connect the wireless bridge.
 
can't you just look at the device and write down its MAC address - from the label on the back/bottom?
