How to tell if car is original a.c. or heat only?

My car dosent have any of the heater boxes or a.c. lines. And most of the vents have been gutted. When I got the car there was no parts for it and no dash unit selector either. Is there a way to tell if my car was a.c or heat only?

Yes, but we would need to know what year and model car you are asking about.

Actually, the most obvious difference is the punch out in the firewall. The first photo is heat-only, the second is A/C. Note that these photos are looking from the inside of the passenger compartment, so the passenger side is on the right.
