Default F/A-18 approach speed rule of thumb

What's the gouge for knowing the proper approach speed based on weight
(carrier landing)? I may get a chance for a few hours in a sim over the
holidays. The sim may use a CF-18 model, which I understand to be similar
to an A/B model Hornet. I'm assuming an A model is closest approximation.
Any suggestions for power settings and pitch to start the approach?
