yes, all my mk2s with vacuum heaters had a/c from the factory.

and all my factory non-a/c cars had cable controlled boxes.

FWIW, you can use a cable or vac controlled heater box on either an a/c, or non-a/c equipped car. the actual heater boxes are interchangeabgle..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

Oh really? Nice to know.
 That's something they did different on the MK1s. You have to do some welding in the raintray to swap the different heater boxes.
