The AC was added on by the dealer, never came overseas with them installed.
My fater purchased his '74 BGT new in '73 with AC installed. I now own a
'74 BGT with AC also installed. There were several makes of kits available
at the time. I have a large clumsy compressor manufactured by York. It sits
where the air pump should be. You can still get today the AC kits if
interested. There is an asain model that has a very small compressor that
works well and doesn't drain off too much power, at least compared to my
York.
