Default Aftermarket Radiator and A/C

Hey guys I have searched looking for a little bit of info but I have come up empty so far.
How does an aftermarket radiator work with the A/C? I'm not sure what (if any) special kind I would need to get or how they are connected. I do not want to stick with OEM because of my turbocharger. The OEM radiator and condesor are one piece correct? Just looking for some good information, thanks!

The radiator is separate and removed easily on my 92 RS.

Thanks for the reply, I wish I could go look at it right now but I'm at work and its cooped up in the garage at home.
Do you know what aftermarket aluminum radiators are compatable with the OEM condensor and fans? Thanks!

some radiators allow you to use the stock cooling and ac fans,http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/koyo/ but some don't and specifiy that you buy an aftermarket slim fan...http://mishimoto.com/product_i...nt-94 hope this helps

That info helps a lot! So buying a Koyo will not affect the A/C at all? Dang my knowledge of the cooling system is severely lacking!

The Koyo radiator has the the correct mounting brackets for the stock radiator fan and AC fan. Since the Koyo system is almost twice the thickness of the stock radiator some the fans will be a tight fit and some trimming of the fan will have to be done. Also be sure to get the correct version of the Koyo radiator for your Integra. If your stock radiator is a Denso buy the Denso version, if it's a Showa get the Showa version.

the type of radiator you get won't affect the a/c. your oem radiator should be fine with the turbo, no point of changing it out unless it's bad.
