Howcome most of the hybrids civis with B18s I see have no AC installed?
Are you guys trying to make the car faster by taking the AC off or the AC will not fit with the B18 engine inside.

the hell with no A/C I made sure to keep both P/S and A/C when I did the swap.. come on it's not like I'm going to see a road course anytime soon and well a 1/4 mile is only a 1/4 at a time 
.. and also cali is to damn hot not to have it for the girls when your on the cruise

No A/C = faster hybrid 
I never had PS (CX) and my car *used* to have A/C. I really didn't feel like using the A/C because I only used it when it was REALLY hot outside and it rarely gets over 90 here in Nebraska. Sometimes it feels hotter because of the humidity, but I can always drive my ITR on those days.

Re: Howcome most of the hybrids civis with B18s I see have no AC installed? (johnd)
90% of the Hybrids out there don't have both AC and power steering after the swap simply because allot of shops don't know what other Honda cars to source the parts from (i.e. AC bracket). It is a tight fit to get all of it in there, but when it is done right it is a testament to a job well done.
The other reason is simply because allot of Civic owners didn't choose to put in the dealer installed AC option at the time of purchase. Usually, owners of these cars don't put in the factory AC after the fact or they are left with a not so good aftermarket unit (at least from my experience it's not as good as OEM).

The Del Sol B16 motor mount has provisions for the EG compressor.

P30 B16 Del Sol front lower motor mount ((94-?)?) will work on the "B" block and the EG a/c compressor.
~$100 maybe?
