Factory A/C!?

Those of you that work at dealerships would especially know this I'm sure but my 1990 really had to have come with factory A/C didnt it? I've had a rebuilt compressor on there since I bought the vehicle so I guess Im not 100% that it did come factory. The reason Im asking is because I'm thinking about buying this Sanden Compressor and it says with factory A/C only. Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated.

No one steal my compressor, OK?

You're good. There is no qualifier for the 1990 4.0L. The qualifier, if you read it again, is for the 1990 with the 4-cyl engine. Most of those did not come with air from the factory and there were aftermarket kits available for them that may not have used the same compressor.
 
I am an oblivious moron. Thanks for pointing that out Eagle, I probably wouldnt have seen it otherwise. I guess reading twice can never hurt. I dont know what to do, Sanden is a good company but Autozone has a rebuilt one for $150.00. I dont know which to do. Probably go Sanden I guess.
 
Isn't the factory one a Sanden for the 1990? Which means if you buy the rebuilt fro AZ you'll get a Sanden anyway.

Just to further confuse the issue, you probably didn't know that back in the 80's one of the companies selling after-market a/c systems for the XJs was a company called (ready?) "Factory Air." My 1987 Comanche has a "Factory Air" conversion system in it, and it uses the same compressor as the OEM a/c in my '88 Cherokee.
