AIR CONDITIONING PEOPLE! Need help with adding AC into an EK with a B series swap!
Hey everyone!
I have a 1998 Civic DX hatchback that I swapped a 98 spec JDM B18C-R into. Unfortunately, I went all gung-ho when swapping it a few years ago, and I took the AC out. The only portion of the AC that's left in the car is what's under the dash, where it runs through the firewall.
After a few hot summers, it's starting to get old, so I'd like to put AC back in the car. The problem is that I got rid of all of the AC components when I took them out.
I'm not very familiar at all when it comes to AC, so I'm looking for some help, especially now that there's a B series swap in the car.
I'm looking and hoping that somebody could make me a list of everything that I would need in order to put air conditioning back in my car. I'm sorry for my extreme lack of knowledge on this subject.
Thank you in advance!

Ac compressor with brackets, compressor belt with tensioner, compressor crank pulley, condensor with fan, receiver/dryer, all the hard lines, and the wiring harness. I think that's everything.

Everything here... A/C HOSES - PIPES (1) for 1998 Acura INTEGRA HATCHBACK except evaporator and housing
And here... A/C COMPRESSOR (DENSO) (1) for 1998 Acura INTEGRA HATCHBACK
And here... 1998 Acura hatchback/gs-r-trim/5-speed-manual-engine/body-air-conditioning-cat/a-c-unit-2-scat except A/C evaporator and housing.
The only issue I see is connections to the evaporator, are they the same on a 98 Civic and the 98 GS-R that all the piping would be from????
Never mind, I checked, both are the same.
Some new parts here... https://shop.performanceradiator.com...4409_4436_4437
Things like lines, MT brackets electrical, and others you will have to get from the dealer or a bone yard, PicknPull] 94
