My '96 came the same way. I bought a whole set someone had listed on eBay. This was several years ago. But essentially you will need a condenser, evaporator, compressor, dryer, and all of the lines. Wiring SHOULD be part of the harness already in the car. If there's anything I'm missing, someone please chime in. Hope this helps you out, or at least gets ya on the right track.

Don't you also need the A/C harness and two relays in the engine bay, and the A/C button for the heater control panel?





OP - Get the 96-00 Civic service manual and visit some local junk yards.

I think the 98 will have has almost all the wiring in place, and a blank cover over the button on the dash that is simply pried off to expose the A/C functionality.

The system was intended for "bolt on" installation by the dealer before selling the car. Official instructions must exist somewhere.

Yes, sorry about that. Overlooked those. But it should still all be plug and play.
