Yes, just about all international CO flights now come into C, and Florida flights leave from there, but occaisionally they will arrive in B (last month my CGN-EWR came into B).
How quick a walker are you? are you travelling with someone who is slower?? In any event you will have to go through security for your domestic leg again with your luggage. I would think 1 1/2 hrs is fine, but just in case you miss your connection, check to see if there is another flight (not necessairly a non stop) that can get you to your final destination
Good point. Not having checked luggage will buy the OP some valuable time.
