Default A/C Boxes the same?

Are the heater-a/c boxes in the 66 Convs all the same or is the A/C box completely different. If so, how can I tell if I have the A/C Box.

I have a car that was an air car but somewhere along the way it was removed....The firewall has the parts needed still attached Is there anything UNDER the dash I should look for to make sure nothing was "changed out"?
The dash vent and cable holes were filled.

Thanks guys

Glen

This is the A/C-Heater box from my 65. Should be pretty much identical to a 66. The item circled is a vacuum control valve that is only present on an A/C car.


Here it is installed
