Yes Factory A/C was offered, and yes it's very rare to find a Factory unit in good working order.
Being in California, I've seen more than a fair share that had Factory A/C but it's like finding a needle in a haystack, especially one that works.
The A/C unit bolts to the bottom of the dash and to the firewall on the passenger side in place of the standard heater. Most all of them have the vent grille for the evaporator kicked out from the passengers feet. The a/c unit takes up the passengers leg and foot room.
a page of the 1969 brochure with a pic of the dash with Factory a/c on the passenger side...
