Default 1997 Civic Cx+b18c swap.......... what A/C system will work?

I already searched

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=217655

but still have some questions.

I have a 97 Cx hatch with b18c swap, will a A/C set-up from a 00 Si bolt right up? Do I need a 00 si a/c mount.

Thanks in advance yO!

You're gonna need every single A/C part off that 00 Si assuming that your car came from the factory without A/C. If it did, you can re-use all of the origina components including the compressor, the only thing that you will need is a new A/C bracket. I'm pretty sure the 00 Si A/C bracket will work, i think its the same as the Del Sol. Good luck y0!

I just looked behind the glove box and it looks like its prewired for a/c, so basically hook up lines, compressor and condensor then it should work right? The A/c buton in the cabin is covered, with a plastic cover from the factory does that cover just come off?

don't forget the evaporator. it's the thing under the dash where the ac lines connect to. for the a/c button there's a light under the cover, but no button. you'll need to get a button from somewhere.
