ISO differences
What's the difference between an ISO created in 2005 and one created this year?
Could I use a 2005 ISO to install a viable Arch system?

Re: ISO differences
2005? Not a chance in hell. Even anything older than early 2016 will have a pacman version that's too old to correctly install current Arch.

Installing from an ancient ISO will still not get you a systemd-less system, unless you also install from an ancient package repository (which doesn't exist). And you could do the same thing with a current ISO, since the only thing that you need for installation is a functional pacman binary and, obviously, this means a Linux kernel and shell to run it from... none of which has any impact on what package tarballs you instruct pacman to extract onto a new file storage device.
Please don't suggest nonsensical ideas.
