i got the car three days ago, but from an auction so there wasn't a manual in the car, or a wheel lock kit just my luck, and i am ordering my body kit and module tomorrow as a package.

If not, you could look at the windshield washer fluid reservoir. On the airmatic cars, the reservoir is visible and you see a clear/white or blue cap right near the intake plumbing (on the driver's side of the engine compartment).
On the ABC cars, the reservoir is not as visible from top, and the cap is a blue cap further forward (closer to the bump stop for the hood), also on the driver's side.
Also, the ABC car also has steel springs, which you should be able to see (especially if you turn the front wheels to one side)
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Sorry, apparently the cap on the airmatic cars can be blue as well, although the manual I have shows it as translucent white. But the relative location of the tank itself is still the key.

Then call or visit any dealer and ask them to look up the VIN.
