I think you will be just fine w/o the AFCI.

Your permits were pulled under the '05 [I'm assuming '05 and not '02]....the job will fall under the code in effect at the time the permits were issued.

BUT....
This might be an opportunity for you to upsell the job :wink:

When you bid it is irrelevant - when you start the job is also irrelevant - what matters is when permits are issued!

This is the time of year when the building dept.s get swamped w/print review ~ gotta get those permits issued under the old.:roll:
 
Some additional info for NJ EC's:

There is a 6 month period AFTER NJ state adopts their exceptions etc that you can note on your permit app for inspection per 05 or 08.
