Although, I think even the later factory setups looked like a bit of an afterthought by MB. The AC used the heat ducting etc but it wasn't all that integrated with the controls and the wiring under the hood looked like a bit of an add on. Not complaining, just pointing out that the next generation (W123) looks like less of an add on (although, you might correct me on that as I have no experience with the W123. My one and only MB has been the W115 300D).

1976 W115 300D's we had both had factory AC. How to tell the difference?
The MB service manuals covered the factory AC, but the unit in the 220D did
not look at all like the factory units.

I think, in the W115 it was a dealer installed option so that might
still be something that could be done ...
Our 1972 220D/8 (a W115) came with factory-installed AC.

Could be - seems to be a subject of debate.
