Default 1992 Bonneville SSE

I am looking at a 1992 Bonneville SSE, and I need to know if it is supercharged. I have asked several other websites (Edmunds & Yahoo), and they have given me no answers. The reason I am confused is because I know that the SSEi keeps bouncing between an actual trim, or a supercharger package on the SSE. Bottom line, is it supercharged? If you need descriptions, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I can't tell... I feel really stupid. How do you attach a photo?

How many belts does the engine have? If there is a pulley higher up then the alternator then that is a supercharger.

If I do get it, any suggestments on color? I think green is hideous.
P.*., VIN is 1G2HZ52L0N1255329, didn't think about it earlier...

N/A motor, non-supercharged

You sure? Thank God. I am in high school, a supercharged car would be too much for my future low income, with gas and all, plus insurance.

100% sure. There is not a pulley there for a supercharger and that'* the N/A upper intake

Well, thanks. By the way, how long are these 3800s supposed to last? This one has 175,000, how much longer 'till it dies?
