There's no numbers/letters on the vin or trim tag that will tell you a 68 Chevelle originally had air cond. I'd guess if the air box in there, it got air, but no guarantees.

I would guess there would be other evidence in the mounting of the condenser. I just removed one, and a factory installation would be difficult to duplicate.

It is an extremely hard installation process to put A/C in a chevelle. Usually if the A/C box is on the firewall, it originally had A/C.
