It completely depends on what refrigerant car A used versus car B's refrigerant.

hey don't mean to jack the thread, but I have a similar question and this dude isn't being more specific.

How about I get the entire ac system off a 95 vic and try to put it on a 92. What will I have to do, just plug and play? retrofit? how hard will all this be (i'm a noob, but still think I can do it)

Im guessing that it would be a direct replacement. I believe that both systems are R12 refrigerant. I would reccomend that this would be done by a professional that has the tools and the knowledge to do this.

if you have everything off the 95, you should be good to go. 94+ use R134a. the only important differences are the seals on the lines. R134a will eat through the seals on a R12 system

will the a/c from a 99 GSR fit in a 00 Civic if I'm doing the engine swap as well?

cool, thanks. I don't think the tools will be a problem. Plus I'll only take it to a professional to have it recharged.

You can buy a recharge kit from Napa. just look at the specs for yourcar and fill it accordingly. You don't need a professional to fill the system only to drain.
Nowadays most retrofit kits are compatable with older systems so you dont have to change the seals.

The seals are different and so is the refrigerant oil used with 134a. Its also important to note that 134a requires higher pressures over r12.. In this case, a conversion should not cause any issues. I had mine converted before I pulled it out and it seemed to work just dandy. 134a doesn't "eat" seals on r12 systems either.
