The standard C3 tank can hold around 14 gal (or a little less). From a normal use situation, you will probably be getting fill-ups of 10-12 gallons [otherwise running on 'empty']. In city driving, thats a fill-up every 150-180 miles.

Not sure if the 1980s are different but I think my tank holds just shy of 24 gallons!! From what I can remember from filling up last fall

It's possible that the bladder might hinder the pickup, and block the flow of fuel, but for the most part it's a capacity thing.
Mine was in rough shape, so i removed the bladder, and actually got about another full gallon of space. I now have a 16 gallon tank.
