Yes, I'm not sure why they put one on a non a/c car but not on one with a/c. In any event, the a/c cars had one in '76. Out of curosity, how did you hook up the vacuum for the '75 switch? It should block the water flow only when the a/c is on as is the case with my '76.
I just put in a manual valve. Not NCRS but it was functional. I did not give it much thought at the time, just did it. Seems like a T in the vac line for the heat/ac door could operate the valve also.

Autozone has been very useful for me. They'll try to find what I want and usually succeed. Otherwise I find it at home and bring an image. They've been able to order and obtain just about any generic part (hoses, belts, lamps, etc) that I've required.
I say Autozone because it's the nearest to me. I've actually had pretty good luck with most places.... really helps nowadays to find the part number yourself and then take it with you.
