Honda used two different manufacturers for the compressors in our cars. One was the Sanden and the other was Mitsu (or something like that).

The AC hoses that hook up to the compressor have to match the compressor. In other words, if the hoses originally hooked up to a Sanden, then you have to use the Sanden.

Matsushita. Make sure you get the right one, because I believe the two are not compatible with each other. The Matsushita one tends to be more expensive and harder to come by/

you will also need to figure out what you want to do about the a/c fan. b series headers make it impossible to use a stock fan so a half size radiator and/or slim fan is a must.

Very good point. Most of the time you'll have to use a slim fan setup.
