1. Just filled my empty AC system with 134a, works great. Cost for kit
$29 on sale at Kmart.

2. Easy to do once I figured out where the low side was.

3. I think the 90 base model was sold in the US. It has 2 rear facing
seats like a Carat along with the rear folding bed seat. The fabric is a
strange but cool black tweed and the floor mats are all rubber and cover
the full cargo floor. I bought it from a used car dealer who had gotten
in over his head. I still have to replace the head gaskets and work on
the auto tranny. He originally was asking $4500 but after finding out
the costs of the repairs took $1400. No tachometer and only manual
mirrors.
