Well, some of that depends on your trim level. There were 3 available in 95, and they all weigh differently.
Can you put your year and trim level in your signature? In the meantime, without that information, I'd say somewhere between 3400 and 3800 pounds without fuel or passengers, and only as it rolled off the lot (jack, spare, etc).

thanks for the info now if u guys can, i would really appreciate it if u guys could tell me where on my chasis that i can jack the whole front end up are side up with out using the owners manual spot for jacking. I dont like jacking from the owners manual spots. If you guys could show some picks where i can jack from and place jack stands that would be most helpful

ok well i have an interesting feeling that the next gen has basically the same underbody being the same H body and all...
When I am jacking my front end off the ground, I use a 3 ton hydraulic jack, and jack from the middle of the subframe, which is just in front of the oil pan and the transmission pan and i place my jackstands on the subframe about 3 inches toward the back away from the control arms. Seems to do pretty well for any work i have ever done under there. But for "owners manual" jack points...i am guessing you would be talking about the 1/4 lift points, where you would change a tire with the stock jack.
Other than that, I would really reccommend not using the jack in the trunk unless it is an emergency, otherwise use a hydraulic one....much safer, much easier, etc.
Hope this helped...
