The 1994 has the R134a system. This is the stuff you can buy at the auto parts store. Get the hose with the gauge. It only fits on the low pressure port on the compressor (the high pressure side is a larger port, stay away from that!). Follow the directions that come with the gauge/hose, be sure to have the car running with the ACC set to low.
I just did this on my 1998 & 1993 CSE(s) which had been blowing ambient temperature air with the compressor not engaging. All works fine now. Get the R134a with the sealer added, your system apparently has a leak that this might plug.
btw: I put R134a into my 1992 9K (R12 factory system). Works fine. I read lots of "don't do" messages, but then again, its soon to be summer, and if this doesn't work, I'd have a car blowing warm air, same as not trying.
