Default A/C in B16 CRX

Just wondering if it was possible to fit an A/C compressor/unit into a CRX with a B16A swap? What are needed and will it fit?

off what car? any car w/ b16 motor? Del Sol? Civic Si? It will fit w/ HAsport mounts? It's a tight squeeze in there.

And stock compressor will work? or need b16a one as well?

Yeah, I had it in my old 89 Si with a B16.

Buy the Hasport AC Bracket and use the stock D-Series AC Compressor and stock ac lines. Everything will bolt up like stock.

Its not that tight of a fit. Worked great for me.

Fitment would be no tighter with a GSR. Dimensionally, the only difference between the two motors is a slight height difference (8mm).

Yeah use the hasport a/c bracket. I had a bit of a problem with mine cracking, but Hasport dealt with me every time.
Eventually I got mad and took out my a/c, but go with a/c you'll be glad you did.
