Mazda A/C question

Pertaining to Mazdas specifically, but no specific model...

What models and/or years NEVER got FACTORY INSTALLED Air Conditioning?

I've heard that all First Gen RX-7s had aftermarket/dealer installed air conditioning, but I don't have a reputable source for that.

My last Mazda B series truck (1989 B2600i 4x4) had aftermarket installed A/C.

And I've noticed that many 1980's Mazdas in the scrap yard have many different varying configurations of A/C components... The general components will remain the same; Sanden compressors, and the locations are all similar, but little things like belt tensioners and compressor brackets differ. Also details of the compressors will change, like the model or line connections will be flange on one and flared on another.

For whats its worth. I believe that all GSL-SE's had factory installed A/C. Ive had an 85 GS and a 85 GSL-SE, and the air conditioning systems were pretty different. I know my GS had dealer installed A/C. I'm 99% sure the SE had it from the factory.
