Does ANYONE know the correct and accurate answer to this question...Thanks, in advance, for your time!

Jan. 65 San Jose build date A-code convertible air conditioning.....If a person ordered factory a/c on a 65 mustang A-code convertible (Jan.65--San Jose) AND the car was ordered with power steering, factory disc brakes and automatic, what power steering would the factory put in the vehicle--Ford/Thompson or Eaton?  If Eaton, remote reservoir or regular eatonpump with different brackets...Bob Manel's Mustang and Ford small block book indicates that the Eaton pump had a certain bracket...HOWEVER...Mr. Manuel does not indicate which assembly plant did what and used what AND which date was the cross over to Ford/Thompson...Does ANYONE have any information on this?   Thanks so much!!!

Check this post out with some pics of cars with partial vins and the setup they had. Don't know what their projected build dates were but someone might be able to chime in.  Those brackets are hard to find btw, took  me awhile:
