Were any FC's made without AC?

Like many many of us, the AC in both my FC's were removed.
1 by me, (who needs AC if I only drive it with the top down?) and 1 by the owner before me.

My question is, are there FC's straight from the factory without AC?
I've been looking for awhile now for a climate control unit without the AC button, (an OCD of mine)

Should I stop looking, or are they out there?

Thank you. I guess I can stop trolling the net. Well, maybe still for donkey ****, just not for a new climate control unit...

But you have an AC button anyways, right?

What did it have? What is lower than phone dials, hubcaps, steelys?
