I have a 69 that I can email you if you want
It was about 26% that had A/C but Bear in mind that in my sampling Judges are over four times above their proper proportion, RAIV's are 10 times and even convertibles are over stated by two fold.

If you look at base engine cars only the hardtops are 45% A/C and the verts are 35%

When you break it down by transmission it is even more striking,
Auto hardtop with A/C; 67%, manual only 17%
Auto vert with A/C; 50%, manual only 11%
again all these stats are Base engine (350hp) cars only

For judges (24% are automatics)
Automatic with A/C; 26%, manual is only 5%

Last point is RAIV's:
Judges; 2 auto, 14 manual
Non judge; 6 auto, 13 manual
