ARIN doesn't really have that information.  ARIN allocates IP addresses
to organizations, not to ASs.  (There are possible hacks.  They could
assume that an org with one ASN is using that ASN for all its IP space,
but that's not necessarily always the case, and some orgs have multiple
ASNs, and so on.)

Historical BGP announcement information is probably the best place to
get this information.  But expecting ARIN to look that up and provide
historical announcement information is probably not realistic.
