Default AC compatibility 97 ex ac on 94 dx?

Hey guys,

I will be buying a 97 ex from my buddy for 500$ and was wondering if the AC was compatible between that and a 94 dx? Also, if all the power stuff could be put onto the dx? Also what would be better a d15b7 with a y8 head or the d16y8 complete?

Yes all the parts will be coming off the 97 ex and will be going onto the 94 dx. The reason I am swapping is because I am going to make the dx my daily driver, since the ex is better track potential. I currently have no AC (compressor blew up) and no power options on my dx.

Than the answer is "No it will not work".

A/C? Maybe, I say that because the design is similar. Power options? Definite NO.

Okay thank you! What about the engine package? I know I can put the d16y8 head onto my d15b7 but what about the opposite will the b7 head work on the y8?

I am going to out on a limb here but I believe the d series ac compressor is the same for 94-00 so you maybe could just replace compressor on your existing system. Caveat being the old compressor littered the system with metal shards

Well when the AC compressor blew up on me, I didn't have the money to replace it. So, instead I took out all the AC components that are in the engine bay. I just talked to my dad to see if he still has my parts but he said he threw it all away.
