Older type 81/85 cars don't have a separate A/C switch on the control panel.
There is an internal A/C switch as part of the temperature control lever.
The A/C compressor turns on automatically when you move the lever to the
left of the detent (into the "blue" zone), and when the ambient temperature
is warm enough.

The wiper washer stalk: Try pushing it forward.

83.5 and later cars have an updated front sway bar with link rods.
Late 83 cars (those with the GT nomenclature) have a closer ratio
transmission, UrQ-style rear spoiler, black trim, Ronal R8 wheels and
various sundry bits.
