not super rare actually, the S13 never came with AC from the factory standard outside of the LE trim, so a lot of base models and also some SEs came without it.

idk man, id say like 85-90% of s13 ive ever seen have had AC from factory. it was like 2018 before i even found out that non-AC s13 even existed, let alone saw one in person. Every s13 ive ever owned has had ac, and even the ones ive just parted out have all had AC.

because it was a cheap $500 MSRP option to add on to the cost of the car when the car was sold new.

every trim of the car outside the LE had to have AC added on as part of the order/allocation process from dealer to Nissan. it also was an easy upsell, so most dealers added it to stocking SE models and some base models depending on region. same with factory or dealer installed sunroof, they kind of just ordered cars that way to increase ASP.

the only SE trim cars without AC are those that were ordered that way by someone doing a special order. this is also apparent on SE trim non-sunroof cars.

I think the unicorn car out there is a no AC, SE trim hatch with automatic transmission and the Handling Package (Super HICAS)

27850-40F00, probably super long gone, but that was the non-A/C duct that replaces the evaporator. It is literally just a rectangular duct to replace the evaporator box, with a flange for the blower motor resistor.

I thought non-A/C was pretty rare but here in the southeast it's perhaps more 'necessary' and I've never seen another non-A/C S13 here since my '90 coupe. The story of that car also was that it was ordered and owned by a dealership employee.
