still looking for console information

In my dealership days in the late '70s I remember helping the parts guy toss a bunch of them- said they were for cars that were getting dealer installed air, and since they hadn't built A bodies for years now, they didn't need to be taking up his space anymore...
So yeah, your factory ac Dart would have the full console, there was no interference with the underdash air vents- but cars that got dealer installed underdash knee knocker ac units needed shorter consoles if so equipped.
