Default Wire ID question

Laying on the intake near the carb. Green and black with a ground connector. This has to be part of a LectricLimited harness,

but it was installed years ago by someone else, so not sure what it could be fore. Any ideas?

Do you have A/C? The picture is from my 69 tri-power, but in 69 there was a green wire from the A/C compressor to a solenoid to keep the rpm's up a little and to keep the engine from stalling if you dropped the throttle to idle.
On my 69 there is only a single green wire that is run in a black sleeve to protect the wire from heat.

AC is what I was thinking but I didn't want to say that out loud until I got some informed feedback. It makes sense it would be very close to the back end of a compressor, if one were there.

First thought, green and black with that ring on the black. Air-con.
