My October 2000 What Car? states that the 306 LX has air con, but the L model doesn't have.
However, a no cost option of a sunroof instead was also offered.
May I suggest an alternative to a Pug? Maybe you could try the Xsara, it is mechanically identical, but a slightly more modern interior in my opinion.
Xsara are cheaper to buy so you may be able to afford a newer model. The new shape Xsara have air con on most models and the 2.0 HDI 110 engine (a little gem) is available.
The 110 is significantly quicker than the 90, but consumption is similar.
I don't know why, I think the Xsara costs more to fix because it has more expensive features in comparison to the 306, eg 4 airbags in most models.
I understand they both have the same door locks, so it isn't due to security reasons. I guess then that the Xsara bonnet and bumper costs more, or that Citroen bodyshops charge more.
Sorry for the late answer, HDD problems just solved today.
It's a nice car... I've test driven a Mk1 Xsara Exclusive (the highest model here : AC, ABS, CD player...), it handles well but the brake pedal is just a bit too soft to me. It was a 1.8 8v, it was a bit too soft IMO, but I had three fat boys with me :-)
