Default A/C question..sanity check

Hi Folks,

I have a weird A/C question....First some background: I put a B16A into a '91 CRX and I'm really
happy with the performance. The swap went very smooth...The weird thing is I'm now hooking up
the A/C and I can't find the high pressure connection! I don't mean the switch itself....thats located
in the high pressure line I mean the female conection thats supposed to be attached to the chassis wiring harness.
Its clear where the lcaotion is in the crx manual but I can't find it in the engine compartment. Maybe I'm losing my mind?
I had the condenser and radiator out of the car so it should have been obvious where the female connector is located. WTF!?

If anyone has a picture of that conector and its location on the wiring harness I'd appreciate it.....thanks.

this is all anyone of us is going to be able to help you with. you probably already seen this in the manual, but if its not in that location none of us are going to know where it is.

yep that's the bastard. I don't think the connector could be used for any other connection. I'm baffled. Thanks anyway.

Also I'm converting the system to r134a is there any thing I should be concerned about? should I try to remove all of the oil from the compressor?

I've read that the r12 oil is not compatible with the r134 oil. Is that correct?

I would certainly be concerned about the fact that your A/C is not going to cool as well and may not last as long. Do yourself a BIG favor and pay the extra cash for R12. It is WELL worth it.
