Default AC unit with B18A1 swap?

Hi guys,
New to the site and eager to start my first swap this winter: A '92 CX hatch with a B18A1 from a '93 integra. Does anyone know if there's a possibility of retaining my AC with the original bracket? Any info appreciated. Honda-tech rocks!

I've seen ways of retaining A/C without buying a new motor mount (bracket), but they look ghetto. I've HEARD they work well, just look unstable.

What I did when I got my LS swap was picked up a Del Sol VTEC a/c bracket. When you take your old motor out, you can just leave the compressor and all of the lines connected and mount your civic compressor to the Del Sol VTEC bracket then to the Integra motor.

It's your choice. Also, try a search.

Thanks for the reply 94HybridEX. I did a general search prior to posting for air conditioning but found nothing. I'll check out the del sol piece.
