Default anyone ever done a h2b swap and still have a/c in their eg6???

anyone here know if doing an h2b swap you would still be able to keep the a/c or is it not possible? i live in california and it's got hot summers so if ima have to take off my a/c im not goind to even try to attempt this swap. a/c is toooo important for me since it will be my dialy driver.

i dont even think it can be done, due to where the pumps are on the h22 and on the civic, also due to the size of the engine.
but i may be wrong.

why not just save your money and do a b sereies, and use all that extra money you would have spent on the h22 on other parts.

Save what money, the h22 swap is not expensive at all, at least not for my ek it wasn;t. The most money i spent was replacing things that i didn't want to do later before the engine went. Don't listen to that guy at all. Im sure it can be done, but it won't be easy.

I'm pretty sure you can keep the a/c. Unless your putting a J30 or a J32 into your Civic, anything can be done. J series would take up the whole engine bay literally.

so no one has actually done it? dont really want to spend tons of money to mod my a/c. reason i want a h22 is because stock they run low 13's already with just bolt ons and with slickes it can be in the mid 12's and thats a pretty much all stock h22 not modded so its pretty reliable.

anything can be done but in particular its going to be hard to put on a/c because there is hardly any room for the crank pulley. When doing an h2b swap it is usually required to get the crank pulley machined off so that it will not hit the firewall. The a/c belt shares the same crank pulley but after its been shaved off where will you put it? Its already running an alternator belt but what if you can shared the crank pulley with the same belt going thru the alternator and the a/c?
