The Inter Webs indicate 23.5 quarts, 5.875 gal.

Seems like a lot... I'd suspect that the radiator holds about 2.5 gal and the rest of the car about 2.5+ gal.

Don't think I've ever measured that but you also have hoses and heater core besides the engine.

AllData shows 12.5 W AC, 12.2 W/O AC. BUT that is for the 2.6 as the

3.1 wasn't in the Firebird as OEM until 1990. However it used the same amount of coolant in the engine itself.
