Default Power steering... Maybe at one point?

Ok, I was looking at the serpintine kits by March. And I was looking at the chart that said what the kit had and didn't have. and the year range model for mine.

What Confused me is this. My 68 at one point had functioning A/C... probably functional before one of the previous owners swapped out the old 289 for a 302. Here's where I'm a bit stumped. There is a Check mark for JUST power steering... and a check mark for Power steering AND A/C... But everyone that had a check mark for A/C also had a check mark for Power Steering. There is none for a Non Power Steering car with A/C. So does that mean since it had A/C, at one point in time my car had Power Steering?...

easy way for you to find out is see if you have the bracket for the PS ram on the left frame rail is bolted on


or get a marti report then you will know a lot about your car

Yeah, but the bracket 'sertnuts in the bottom of the frame were only installed in PS cars. Since they are a total pain to remove, if you had PS, they will still be there.

You could have AC without PS. The pulley sheaves for PS simply went unused.

Are these the holes you mean? They are right below the steering box. And the indintation to the left of the top hole on the side going towards the ground is also a hole.
