'94 Convertible Top Hydraulics
The motor on my '94 Vert hasn't worked in quite a while. But I went in the trunk to look at it, and there was absolutely NO hydraulic fluid. How do I bleed what little bit might be left in and refill it? I didn't see anywhere to put fluid in.

Probably not the best place to post this question, and "audio and electronics" may not produce results either. Let's move this to "67-02 General F-Body Tech".
And since I'm here, let's give you this reference from Shoebox's excellent 4th Gen website. It shows the pump, with the reservoir attached, and the fill plug for the reservoir.

Note however that the factory manual procedure for bleeding the system is very complex, and specifies that SAE 10 oil be used for the system.
If you want a .pdf file of the factory manual bleed procedure, I can send you a copy via e-mail.

I also had a pump issue on a car I have just had for a few months... Tried the procedure, then took it to a shop.
I lump some things together, the convertible pump on the 4th gen and carbs...Once you open it and let the magic out, you are screwed.
I realize this is my personal experience, and I'm about to start to included the LT1 coolant bleed procedure.
