Can anyone point me in the right direction to a writeup on install ac into a 92 civic hatch. Thanx

 

if it wasnt there to begin with your gonna have a VERY hard time putting it in even still buying parts for it most you have to have an ASE in refrigerant handling

 

Its not going to be bad I put the a/c back on my jdm front integra and there was nothing to start with, i evan had to bend some lines that went around the factory HID's that sucked. This was my frist time as well just take your time, get new o rings,new avaperatior canister, and have a a/c tech charge it. But it will be a little hard trying to fined all the parts from bolts, clamps, ect i just got lucky and a friend of mine just had took all his a/c off and had all the parts. Good luck.

 

I bought all my A/C stuff off this forum from guys parting cars out, . Its not hard at all to install A/C on your car. The only thing I would recmmend is that you find an AC system from 94+ civics because they are R134A. you can buy the little A/C button that goes on your climate control for around $5.00. the wires from inside to out front are already there. heres a link to the install process, http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/.../17204_01.html
its a pretty simple install once you start, don't let the instructions scare you, I installed my A/C on a 94' civic si with no ac from the factory.

you can buy new valves, seals and caps from napa. you'll have to have your system charged at a shop unless you have the stuff to do it.

 

where do you come up with this stuff? you live in IL and you should know you can buy over the counter a/c recharge stuff in IL. granted it probaly doesnt work as intended and OP lives in CA which is probaly stricter. this is like the third post tonight where you are false. anyway...

to the OP...you can buy brackets, compressors, lines, climate controls, evap, condensor, reciever/dryer all online and since i dont know the law in CA you will proably need a shop to charge it up for you. might cost somewhere in the 600-1000 range and that might be worth it to you. you do not need any certificate in A/C to install these parts. your not messing with any gases/liquids

 

Thanx for the posts guys. Yea im gonna buy all the parts off someone that pulled their system out, then install myself. After that YES will take it to a shop to be charged. Thanx for the points in the right direction and no thank to "Murk 'Em".
