Did all 69 Shelby's come with A/C?  on the ones with A/C, Does it use different heater hoses than the non A/C?  And are the Shelby A/C heater hoses the same as those on a 69 428 Mach with A/C?

Same A/C lines on all 351s (Fastbacks, convert and Mach-1s) and (I believe) on the 428s. The big block as I remember has shorter rubber heater hoses than the small block. Im sure the experts will chime in to correct me, IF I am wrong.
Past owned Shelby's:
1968 GT-350--Gold
1970 GT-500--#3129--Grabber Orange.
Current lifelong projects:
1969 Mustang Fastback/FOX chassis, 5 speed, 4 wheel discs, with a modern Can-Am 494 (Boss 429), Kaase heads, intake with a 1425 cfm 'B' Autolite Inline carb, ala Trans-Am style
1968/70 Olds 442 W-30

Yes A/C lines are the same regardless of 351 or 428 in Shelby/Mustang. The BB does not have shorter heater hoses compared to the smallblock.
