The easiest and most certain way to determine factory air is the body
tag.

I believe one absolute and easy way to determine if a Corvair has
factory or 
dealer installed A/C is to look at how the spare tire mount is installed
in 
the trunk.  In factory installed A/C Corvairs the mount is spot welded
to 
the trunk.  In Dealer installed A/C Corvairs the mount is bolted/screwed
to 
the trunk.  How about some comments?
Still sunny and warm in Las Vegas. :-)
