Long story short is after 225k the stock radiator is going out. The plastic end caps are slowly eating away. I figured this would be a great time to upgrade the radiator. I'm going with a Mishimoto brand. But I was not sure how I would go about keeping everything intacted for air conditioning. I know its winter and it is snowing in Ohio at the moment but I figure if I could get it all out the now I don't have to worry about it when I really do need it. Thanks in advance

 

I know with civic radiators, for auto trans there are trans cooling lines, as for AC, do not think there are connectors, just make sure if you need trans cooling lines for your car the radiator has them.

 

unless you NEED a larger capacity radiator i would save your money and get an oem replacement and put the saved money into something that makes a difference.
other than that you will just have to put it in and see what needs to be moved. might have to bend some lines and brackets...

 

They make automatic transmission cooler for that. Its like a mini oil cooler.

 

I plan on going boost this summer. So I figure I might as well upgrade all together as well. So just bend a couple of lines and brackets should be ok? Sweet. Thank you for the advice. If different I will update
