A/C equipment on 1 braker

Hi Jerry
I know in "the old days" both split system components were wired to the same breaker....then things changed to require separate breakers. Is this a NEC requirement or equipment listing issue? If a NEC requirement do you know what year it took effect?
Just looked at a town home built in 1990 wired this way, 2 different wire sizes of course and a Challenger panel to boot. No empty space for another breaker.
