Early carrera tail question - A/C vs non-AC

Newbie question. School me how to know the difference from an AC vs non-AC tail. I bought this a long time ago (FG replica) and is being repaired and repainted as of the moment. Based from the threads I've read, there are tails ac and non-ac. Would that refer to the turbo (930) since the intercooler makes up for most of the space? I'm running ac on my N/A 86 and would like to know if I can use this tail. Otherwise, I will just sell this if its for a non-ac. TIA

The a/c condenser fits to the tail just as the Carrera deck does.
My 76 930 has a cutout for a condenser further back in the tail with inner framing to make air come across the condenser for the fan cooling. Does not apply to n.a. Carrera 3.0 of the era

JQ,

The rear deck lid AC condenser mounts under the engine deck lid; you open the engine deck lid and the condenser is underneath. There are air 'baffle' plates attached to the deck lid on the left and right side between the condenser and the deck lid to insure air moves through the condenser rather than around it. The condenser has brackets on each side, supported on the LH and RH hood hinges, and a bracket on the center spar support.

For models with the rear window wiper option the condenser design is slightly different, allowing for clearance of the wiper motor shaft.

The 78-89 930 turbos have the condenser mounted under the lid on the right, taking up half of the opening, the inter-cooler opening on the left takes up the balance of the opening; earlier year turbo's are a bit different as mentioned.
