it's a 93 civic with a d15b7 has ac and power steering.

i'm swapping in a b16a what do i need to do to keep the power steering and ac?

i also want to keep the ac compressor that on the car right now?

are there any oem brackets i can use?(delsol vtech "b16a3" usdm)

or do i have to use the aftermarket kits?

if so does the aftermarket kit accept the stock compressor?

thanks ahead of time any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Bump.

 

why would a noob with 1 post bump?
and why dont you just get the A/C and p/s from the b16 car?

 

. . . OR

he can check out the FAQ stickie thats posted on one of the threads above!
comeon people, lets help new ht members out.

 

lol true.

 

Because I have a similar situation. Why else?

Not all 1993 Civic's have R134a. R12 supposedly works better? And let's say that the A/C from the D-series works just fine. Why bother opening the system if you can't buy R12?

 

No '93 civic came with an R134a A/C system. ('92 - 93 = R12, '94 - '95 = R134a) In any case simply use the brackets from a '94 - '97 Del Sol Vtec to make the whole thing a complete plug and play bolt on affair.

 

i think that u can use the ac bracket form a crv to use the ac from a sohc..dont quote me but i am pretty dam sure

 

You can, and I used to mention it a lot when these types of questions came up because its cheaper than the Del Sol bracket. however there is some confusion about using a CR-V bracket to retain power steering which is why I rarely mention it now, it does however definately work for retaining A/C, and the Del Sol bracket definately works for both.

"From 1994-present, all a/c is r134a. 1993 and below is all r12. However, apparently SOME 1993 are r134a, according to feedback from some users."
Why I brought up the r134a in the first place... *shrugs*

So Del Sol VTEC (B16) brackets are the best/easiest to use? I'd also like to keep power steering.

Thanks!

 

 

On that note I have a TSB that titled "1994 A/C kit fits 1992-93 civic" which describes exactly that, the only extra thing you need is a '94 - '95 heater subharness (only about 2 - 3 feet long).

Yes, and they work for both A/C and power steering

 

my friend has that. D series ac on B series motor.

 

Would brackets from an SIR II work?

 

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't.

 

so do the d-series and b-series ac compressor and power steering pump have the same mounting holes are they the same?
