Yes, my '73 BGT came with one as a standard option with the standard
black/green rocker switch located beneath the radio, next to the hazzard
switch. I think that all of them came wired for this. The wire goes
overhead in the headliner

I guess by design it should be able to handle the current load, although
the stock defroster doesn't work nearly as well as one in a new car. If
you put an aftermarket one in, it might have greater current requirements.
On the other hand, it might be more efficient, and require less.
