You can keep the "as" if you start the next clause with a "however". This gives more equal weight to the successes and failures, while starting with "although/though" is a bit dismissive of the success and concentrating on the failure.
Although 1 and 2 look a bit clumsy, they're not totally unacceptable, especially in spoken language. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

"As the book is an interesting account of the jungle, however it fails to convey the horror of life there" makes no sense. It has to be, "although the book is interesting, at the same time it fails to convey reality". 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
