wouldn't recomend it because the inside of your engine will rust a bit and if it gets cold out it will crack your engine block and your car would blow up, but you can

Yes. The best to use is of course is a mixture of water and coolant but just water will work fine in your vehicle. Add coolant when you can get some for the best cooling.

I would only put water in an emergency situation where I don't have coolant available. The coolant helps the engine to not overheat and to not freezing, while that could happen if you just use water. If you don't have your vehicle's manual to know the specification of the coolant, you can use the generally available Prestone and add water according to the table on the coolant's recipient. (or you can buy the pre-mixed formula)

Chevrolet runs these cars at higher temps to help with emissions. I suggest getting a 160 thermostat and a hypertech chip. I did this for my 94 Vette, coolant temps range 180-200 instead of 200-220
