As I remember; you need to increase exposure 4 or 5 times to compensate for the AH layer. It gives you a negative with a reversed image and slightly lower resolution.
 
Thank you for all answers.

It really depends on AH layer being present/not present and it's opacity. I loaded my first sheets of ex-soviet Tasma emulsion side down as there are no notches. Exposed as normal, the result: http://www.flickr.com/photos/werra/4646971112/
Maybe _a_bit_ soft but completely usable. Don't think that the result would be the same with some more modern film.
