Based on the attached picture, is it safe to assume that the car (1970 Cadillac) has no A/C?
A/C or no A/C

If it had air conditioning, there would be a temperature wheel to set the air conditioning and heat temperatures.

Thanks Paul.
You lucked on on this one. That AC set up is a pain to get working.

Not my car, unfortunately. I know very little about the Cadillacs. I thought that they all came with AC.
To find one that doesn't have air conditioning that was built after say 1966, is an anomaly. I don't know what the actual percentages of the Cadillac cars built in 1970, however, I would believe that at least 80% or more of the cars were equipped with air conditioning. Adding air conditioning to an existing car can be done, but it will be expensive for the parts (non factory) and expensive labor wise, unless you are doing all the work yourself. The only practical way to add it would be an under dash unit, which might require that you remove the existing heating system. Ultimately, this will hurt the value of the vehicle. You would be better off waiting for a factory air conditioned vehicle.
My first Hearse was a 71 it had no air. Not uncommon for no air in the northern states.
The newest procar ambulance I've seen without A/C was a '74 S&S that Carl had from a suburban Cincinnati fire department.
