Need a little more information on the car. It sounds like either the mounts are slightly bent or you have the wrong ones.

The driver's side motor mount should be from a 94+ integra as well as the front transmission motor mount bracket. As far as the ac compressor mount, that can be any b series, but to keep ac it has to be from a b16. Those are the mounts I used on my 98 coupe and it fits perfect.

I used the innovative motor mounts on my b20 swap and they fit great. Haven't got to drive em yet, but I'm sure they'll be fine.

Are you 100% positive on that? I will be putting a B20 into a 93 VX in the next few days and I do plan to put the ac into the car. I have read a few posts where people say that the B20 and Del Sol B16 bracket are the same after comparing part #s.
Can anyone verify (possibly with pics) and be 100% sure what lower bracket will allow you to keep your AC in a 92-95 civic with a B20Z swap.

Mines a 98 civic and you don't have to have them custom made for our generation. I know the b16 ac mount is what I used and it isn't the same as the b20 ac mount. I'm pretty sure the b16 one is the one I needed the keep ac, but since yours is a different generation, I dunno what you will need.

Re: b20 swap question... (burningwrek)
Last night I test fitted an LS Integra AC compressor and all 4 bolts lined up and went right in. I have a 2000 B20Z so the integra AC compressor will bolt up with no issues on the bracket. I also I visually compared the compressor from the LS to the one on my roommates si hatch. Visually they look idnetical but his is in the car so I can't say that they are for sure. This leads me to wonder if there are any differences between the Civic and the Integra AC compressors, or if in fact they are the same. The motor should be going in this weekend and I have to scroung around to find the complete AC system but I will post in here again when or if I can get it to work with what I have.
