Observations of several molecules in a range of transitions in the circumstellar envelopes of the carbon stars IRC+10 deg 216 and CIT 6 are presented. The data show strong evidence for time variability of the SiS J = 1-0 profile, apparently in phase with the infrared variations in IRC+10 deg 216. There is probably in-phase variability of the HC3N J = 2-1 line and there are no significant differences in the relative abundances of observed molecules in the envelopes of the two stars. The absence of SiS J = 1-0 emission toward CIT 6 may indicate that this star has a smaller mass loss rate and is less than three times more distant than IRC+10 deg 216.
