<VV> Just wondering

[Frank DuVal]

Stephen,

A/C was offered on all engines except turbos. There was no "standard 
engine" for A/C option cars. If you ordered A/C with no other options, 
then you got a 95 (we're talking late model here), as the 110 was always 
an option in Monzas and 500s, and not available in Corsas. Your build 
plate should indicate the 110 option, IIRC.
