you can either use a b18 one, or use a 92-95 civic one with a Del Sol Vtec A/C bracket. So if your hatch has ac already just get a Del Sol A/C bracket/motor mount. I think companies that make custom mounts also makes the bracket you'll need.

The bracket on your b18b will work but not all the holes will line up. At best, you can use 3 out of the 4 bolts. Use your d-series a/c compresor and get a 94-95 del sol dohc vtec bracket. I think it should have P54 stamped on it.

Re: what a/c compressor??? (Kalokohan)
well heres my situation...i can get bot a b-series and a d-series from friends but the thing is i just want to do the easiest way possible...are you trying to say that the d-series would fit with the b-series bracket??? 3 out of 4 bolts...as long as its on and working it really doesnt matter...but if i have to change out the bracket to use the d-series compressor, would it be easier to jsut use the b-series compressor that bolts right into the bracket???....thoughts please...

if you already have a/c on your car i think it would be easier to go with the existing a/c compresor and the del sol vtec bracket, this way you won't have to get the system recharged.

You can use the b18b compressor, but the lines coming going to the compressor would not easily be rotated to be bolted to the compressor. If you put them side by side you will see what i am talking about. You can a) get a del sol bracket and use the stock civic compressor, or b) use the b18b compressor and buy the line that goes from the compressor to the hardline for the integra which costs same as option a). or Get the ultra light aluminum one from the post above.
