Air Shocks?

alright, here comes the stupid question... i previously had a 1974 chevy nova and when i decided i wanted to lift the abck end off the ground alittle higher, i bought air shocks. (the one with the line run to the back that you raise and lower by adding compressed air or letting it out) i know that my eclipse and my nova are far from even remotely close to each other, but would air shocks work on my eclipse or not? would it make a difference becaue of the struts? someone please help.
