Connecting my A/C in my LSVTEC Swap

Hello everybody.
I have a 1997 Civic EX Sedan.
I swapped in a LSVTEC with a B18B bottom end.
I have a compressor from a 98 Acura LS.
What hoses can I use to hook this beast up.
The Stock D16Y8 A/C hoses didn't work.
Which hoses should i use from what platform for the low and high pressure side.
My car is the one that has two radiators...one for the A/C and one for the Engine Coolant.
Thanks,
Russ

from what i understand the compressor lines from the 99-00 si should work for your condenser.
i have a 95 dx with a b18b and i had to use the suction and discharge lines from a 97 del sol si vtec, but they fit perfectly and work great.

just have someone re-weld your b-series ac bracket to fit your d-series compressor. that what i did. did not have to buy or cut new lines. if i remeber correctly 2 bolt will line on the d-series compressor on the b-series ac bracket and you just make the other 2 fit by drilling and welding. i hope that helps.
