The cars used it, but the trucks didn't until 1973.
No, not that switch. There is a electrical switch that turns the A/C on and off depending on where the function control lever is placed. On with the lever on A/C and off on all other functions, Floor, Defrost, off, etc... I had problems with that switch on my 1972.
Would only be a problem if the A/C works. It being on and cooling the air the heater is trying to heat up.
The heater only assymbly can be swapped in place of a broken crusty factory A/C unit pretty easily.
