As far as I know, AC was never a factory option on an R Package car. The point being, and R Package was meant for racing, and AC was counter to that (as was power steering, and power windows).

Pretty sure that you had to pay Extra for A/C, and Extra if you wanted the radio.
Here is my old print ad I saved from the 1990's

AM/FM/Cass was standard on the "R", the only option from the factory was AC, A hardtop could be sold and installed at the dealership level only.
