Default Empty engine bay

I recently purchased a 96 civic DX hatch and noticed the engine bay looks really empty. It has a B16A2 swap so I'm guessing the previous owner didn't bother putting everything back in. Other than the A/C system I was wondering what exactly is missing.

Doesn't look like anything is missing but the A/C to me. Coolant overflow reservoir?

DX did. CX didn't. You're getting your chassis' mixed up

Bojangles is correct - the coolant overflow tank is missing. That should be item #1 on your agenda.

Thanks for the fast response guys. Ill get right on that coolant overflow. As for the AC, I can live without it, but I would like to have PS again. What parts besides the pump would I need to buy in order to install it?

I can also take more photos at different angles if anyone thinks anything else might be missing

You would also need the power rack too, and all lines to plumb it. You will also need the reservoir and lines for it.

You may also need the bracket, a different pulley, and the belt. I can't see the pic as I am on my phone but that's pretty much the entire power steering system

It looks like your bottom hose clamp isn't even around the radiator piping.
Edit: is there two clamps down there? Lol
