The 87 had manual everything, except oddly electric mirrors and the drivers side was even a heated mirror. But the scirocco was an up market version of the Golf, and built in (West) Germany, were as USDM Golfs and Jettas were made mostly in PA I think.
My base 87 VW Scirocco had AC. The mid-tier and up German cars, at least for US import, usually had AC from the 80s on.
My base 1991 Golf had no AC. It also had no power steering, power windows, ABS or airbags.
