Parts lookup question - can it tell number of antennas?

I'm looking at a ThinkPad on eBay, and am trying to figure out if it has two internal antennas or three, as I want to put in an 802.11n card if I get it. But I can't figure out from the parts listing how many antennas are in there. Do different screen FRUs indicate different numbers of antennas?
Thanks for any advice.

Not really an answer to your question.
All (7 or so) the Thinkpads that I have opened up have had three antenna cables.
The models were X60t and T60 (normal and wide screen).
In the case of if they had a b/g card, the wire was taped to the motherboard, just waiting for you.

That's better news than I expected. Thank you!
