So don't let the newb post count fool you, and trust me, I've searched...

Looking at buying a 1991 CRX SI/SE with B18C5 swap, but the no A/C thing kills it for me... so I remember when we did my friends H2B CRX we removed all his OEM A/C parts in the engine bay....

So I have access to everything on the engine bay side... the question is now, what would I need in regards to wiring if this is dealer installed A/C is there a jumper harness or is the body already equipped with the harness even if the car does not have A/C. Obviously it would not be hard to make a harness if all else fails and if someone has done this before or has a link to how this is done and could post it that would be great. Is there anything I would run into that i would not expect when installing A/C into a non A/C car? I figure I will need...

A/C Lines
A/C Climate controls (No A/C button on regular ones)
A/C Exchanger core under dash and housing
A/C Condenser/compressor
Del sol B-D series A/C bracket


There is also aftermarket kits available.. anybody ever install one or have any info on something like this?

I was rushed writing this and have to cut this post short as I'm at work and keep getting harrassed!!

Thanks HT

 

Just adding to your list -
Condenser fan
NEW filter/dryer
New O-rings (get them.. don't cheap out)
A/C relay stuff that goes behind driver side headlight
Firewall grommet

There is a harness just for A/C that runs from the compressor and fan, to the relays, and off to the ECU and dash controls.
Harness is the thing covering the bottom left of this diagram
