It isn't a Blue Flame 6cyl Chevy, it's a 94 MB with all kinds of covers
over everything. i.e. Corvettes have coil covers, but if you remove the
covers, the engine doesn't look any different than what is in a Z28. The
covers are there to 'beautify' the engine for the novice engine looker.

Does the AC work?

I was a high school student in that year. Not having the income to buy a
new Chevy, I opted for a $50 V8 Ford. I suppose that had I followed my
father's advice, I would have bought a fat body (41-48) Chevy (big back
seats), but then, those weren't up to my expectations of a real car at
the time...
