I will assume 2000 Si
If that is including all of the bells and whistles it looks like a good deal, you will need to use the sanden D series or 99-00 Si compressor, a del sol vtec bracket is required to bolt it up. It should include the pump, hardlines in the bay, the condenser, the evaporator, the radiator (in the dash, not the true name of it but its the part that keeps you cool) and the hardlines from the condenser to the evaporater.
If you can get all that for 150 bucks, thats a good deal, A/C stuff is not exactly cheap.

actually, the 2000 si uses the same a/c compressor that b-series motors use. if he is going to swap everything from a si then and si compressor bracket will work fine.
the d-series and the b-series compressors are different.

if your car doesnt have a/c then this is a good deal, counting that the parts are reliable.
but if you alredy have a/c, the i recommend you just swapping out the brackets, it's alot cheaper. if you do go this route, the 94-95 (VTEC) dels sol bracket would be the one you want. also the crv brackets are alittle better priced, around $80.
they both are the same thing!

Re: ac from an si (philosofy1)
I couldn't remember for sure, I did a B16A swap in my 2000 and used the D series pump with a P54 del sol bracket. (Si pumps are a bit harder to come across than the D-series, so I stayed that route.)
I also cannot remember if the hard lines are formed differently from D to B in the 96-00 civics, never paid too much attention to that.
