I hope to god you're not talking to me. Don't laugh, i've never seen diff fluid 
So anyways i guess i should open it and inspect the damage, right? It was underwater for about 30 minutes a few years ago (Got stuck in some water), i don't think AAMCO actually checked it.

I know AAMCO is bad, i'm starting to do my own work now since i realize other people are ****ing r*****s. When we pulled it out, the reason we took it to aamco was so they would check the fluids and clean the brakes out (Since i had school and my dad had work, we didn't have the time)
So, any recommended fluids? And how do i dispose of the old.

Here is what I did on my '91. If you pull the head light switch out, there will be a heavy red wire there,12 gage I think. Do a tap on that wire and run your new branch over to your glovebox, that's where I put mine, and install a secondary PDC in the GB. From there you can set up a multi switch station that will be powered when you go to accessories or running.
