How can I tell if first gen LS has air shocks?
I'm looking at picking up a first gen LS of the 1990-1992 variety just to play around with, rebuild, and possibly supercharge, but I'm concerned about the air shocks. Is there any way to tell if a car has this or not, or certain years it wasn't available so I can look for that? I'd hate to drive far from home just to find that it has an option that I don't want and don't feel like converting.
Thanks for any input!

The easiest way beside looking for a button is to open the hood and look at the top of the shock.
If you see an open set of nuts and bolts then it is conventional.
If you see a hose and a black metal cap covering the top of it then it is airsuspension.

Well I know if I look at it I could tell, I just live 5 hours away from where this car is and it's an auction so they don't really accomodate you for a lot of requests... the price is right and most of the car will be stripped and re-done, but if I can avoid that option altogether I will, as it's less work and money I have to invest. I take it there's no determining airshocks by looking at the vin like certain other options packages on Toyota vehicles?
