AC Roadrunners did indeed have the turquoise instead of orange in '69. Different carb, and IIRC the 330-horse cam. Otherwise the same as the 335-horse non-AC RR 383. I think the purpose was a smoother idle speed with AC on.
Correct and so did the '69 383 Super Bee with A/C here's the '69 Super Bee survivor with the 899 A/C engine code;

I believe the "turquois" 383 Road Runners & Super Bees will all be automatics with A/C ... 4-speeds with A/C were still "orange".
Dan, four speed A/C RR/Bees got the turquoise 897 engine.

Fairly common to see them on top of the valve cover.
Amazing how an unchallenged lie can become the absolute truth.
