Default Adding A.C. to my 94 EG H22 swap

Hey all,
Just recently got my 94 EG with a H22 swap. I live in south west AZ so I'm in desperate need of AC. I have been into the custom truck thing since my teens and always loved the EG's, I came across this one and couldn't pass it up.

I just got it last week and I also went to the junk yard and got everything for the A.C. off a 95 civic, the evap core is in so now for the challenging part, installing the compressor.

The swap was done with place swap mounts(from searching the forums) which aren't even made anymore. So my question is has anyone successfully added AC with the same set up as me. And what compressor, bracket, lines did you use. Anything will help please

I messed with the comp, and condenser yesterday but I couldn't get the condenser in with the fan. The alternator is hitting the shroud even after I trimmed the Hell out of it. My only solution is to go back to my roots and make a custom bracket for the compressor and prob relocating the alternator. I would prefer not to obviously bc I wanna keep everything tight and neat.

I have been looking at really old threads but none of the brackets mentioned are for sale anymore. I know it can and has been done before. Like I said this whole EG swap thing is new to me so any info and help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Will

ended up making my own bracket for the alternator and made an adapter plate/bracket that let me use the aluminum EJ8/6 (D16Y8/7) compressor bracket. I mounted the alternator rigidly since the aluminum compressor bracket has a tensioner built in.

mine is a bit different being an F2D, but I think that means you will have a little more room in yours. the blocks are the same though as far as mounting accessories goes.

I picked up a fan shroud from the junk yard and cut away everything that wasn't needed to mount the condenser. then I just put a 12" slim fan in there. plenty of room.

Thanks for your reply hondamark35, after a lot more research and head scratching. I believe I'm gonna go with the prelude bracket and compressor. Then making my own lines but I believe my the stock ones will bolt up.

My other option will be buying the innovative a.c. bracket for 96-00 EK. It looks like it'll work but who knows. I was hoping to come across someone that has tried either and see if they had any success.

As far as the condenser and fan, I'll just run a pusher in front. That'll give me more than enough room.

I've been thinking about trying this for a while, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm interested to see how it goes for you.
