I think the system will be reliable for a while once you get it sorted out. At least with a 1980 you don't have to worry about the turbo sucking your sump dry....
So I'm guessing that '80 was a transition year for the ACC as my 80 wagon has the non-evil climate control servo. It has the horizontal buttons, where my parts car ('77) has the earlier. My ACC is currently bypassed, but I have gone in and resoldered it as per instructions linked from here, and someday may try to hook it up properly.
