were all your mk2;s originally ac?
Mine was not. only option was PS
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..
