After getting **** about weight reduction, I ripped everything A/C related out of my B16a CRX. I took the compressor, condensor, and unhooked the piping from the firewall. It is now 98 degrees daily here, and I am quickly rethinking my decision.

I have the compressor, but the condensor is , along with the piping to and from it. I have the piping coming out of the firewall going to the passenger side, and the piping going to the compressor from the firewall.

What all will I need in order to get the A/C functional? I do not know if the compressor works, and I do not have the bracket for it either to fit on the B16a. What bracket (Other than the $200 from HASport) would I be able to use so that it will line up? I know I need 2 pipes, a condensor, but I do not know what else? The air canister is still under the drivers fender, but I do not know anything about it so I do not know if it's good/bad. Any help appreciated, thanks guys.

if youre going to run a different compressor just get the stock jdm b series compressor,,,,,(people usually toss them anyways)

 

I am not sure if the compressor works or not (When I got the car, the swap had alredy been done and the compressor wasn't hooked up), so I was going to hook everything up and see if the compressor worked. If this one doesn't work, what all compressors will, and what kind of prices am I looking at for them?

If you are using the Hasport mounts you will have a clearence issue w/ the front crosmember. Hasport mounts lower the engine to clear the USDM hood. You will need the bracket.

 

GDamnit. Can't I just beat the hell/cut the hell out of the crossmember? I really don't have the the $200 those bastards want for the bracket.

 

I will have the same problem as you soon. The humidity down here kills me. Also, no A/C & hot air blowing on you is no fun either. Once you're all chillin' in your ride though, with ICE cold A/C - you'll be like "damn, worth every penny!". Anyway, that's my logic for spending $200...LOL
Where did you buy your motor from? Some of those places discount HASport parts...

 

To my knowledge the JDM A/C compressor is an Integra comp. I just used the Hasport bracket with HCP mounts. By the way if you plan on using an Integra compressor you'll have to either fabricate your a/c lines or try an hybrid (I don't know if this will even work) Integra a/c lines.
