Is it normal for there to be BIG pressure when you take off the gas cap - like it hisses for 10-15 seconds till all the air is out and I can take the cap off fully? It was doing that as well.

AC is out too - can you re-charge those early 95 models by yourself?

Hissing with gas cap off, Normal. If you open real quick, the air comes out quick, if you just "do the clicks" slow, it will hiss longer.

If there isn't a major leak, A/c recharge, yes. The low pressure valve is located (look for a black plastic cap) on a horizontal pipe, on top of the radiator, closer to the battery). There is an earlier post on this.

Edit. Here is the post
