Hmmm, accessory catalogs are produced by the sales dept. The original intent was to add options to a plain Jane car, but they kind of expanded to try to sell anything to anyone if it would function.
Yes the yellow 70 pilot Formula was built with a hood tach, but thankfully the RPO was cancelled in regular production. I've seen no order forms, invoices, build sheets or window stickers indicating an early 70s Firebird came off the end of the line with a hood tach. Unlike a RAIV Formula I have seen no evidence that it was even theoretically available.
