nobody out there knows what i need. Please somebody help. I dont want to buy the wrong parts. thanks in advance
yeah like the guy above stated, use the 96-00 civic condensor, all the lines and u can use a single cam compressor just buy either the del sol b16 a/c bracket (cant remember wat number it is) or the P7J (cr-v) bracket. also i dont know if it was just me but for the belt the first time i was able to use the normal 96-00 a/c belt but it snapped so i tried getting another from autozone and it didnt fit so i ended up having to use one that was 100mm or cm or whatever in length but it worked out just fine.

Why don't you try and help us help you by posting more info.
People are saying 96-00 Civic parts, but you haven't actually come out and stated that you're working with a 96-00 Civic. I'll assume you are for a moment.
Use the 96-00 Civic everything in terms of a/c compressor, clutch, coil, suction and discharge hoses, hard lines, dryer receiver, condensor, evaporator, etc. etc.
Then use either a Del Sol VTEC (94-97 with B16A3/2) or 1997 CR-V a/c compressor bracket. The CR-V bracket is cheaper. I have *heard* that running p/s might influence which bracket works easier, but I've never seen/expereinced this first-hand to confirm if the issue exists, or what the actual issue is.

can i get a picture of the bracket i need, or if somebody has a part number, that would be great. because im searching but I cant find the bracket I need for the a/c. i know its a cr-v or the delsol on but what does it look like.
CRV bracket is a P7J. You need a 2000 Honda CRV AC bracket. There are a couple other options on a 96-00 that can work:
1. Use all factory AC components from your car and get the CRV or Del Sol VTEC AC bracket so you can bolt the compressor to the engine.
2. Use your Integra AC bracket and compressor and buy the 2 lines that hook to it for a 99-00 Civic Si.
3. If you do not have the bracket for your Integra compressor, you can use either an Integra compressor bracket or the 99-00 Civic Si compressor bracket. If you use the 99-00 Civic Si or Integra AC compressor, you HAVE TO use the 99-00 Civic Si compressor lines.
It's simple; I think you are making it much harder than what it really is. Once it's all hooked up, make sure to put a good vacuum on the system and verify that it holds the vacuum before you put the R134 in there. If the oil seems to have leaked out, make sure to put a little PAG oil back in...

you dont need **** just use the civic compressor with the B bracket...only two screws will fit (both right top and bottom) its enough to hold it so it dont go loose....and yes it allines with the pully...but if u have alot of money to spend u can find Crv brackets...just did my LS swap with AC...trying to mk power stering to fit
