Default B16/D16 A/C Compatibility Questions

I have an EG6 with the original B16A3 engine in it. The car is missing almost all mechanical A/C components (Compressor, Compressor Bracket, Compressor belt and tensioner, Condenser and Condenser Fan) but all the lines are in place and sealed. I've done some research and I've come up with a parts list, and I want to know if everything is correct:

- Compressor: Any D-Series compressor from the 92-95 Civic.
- Compressor bracket with pulley assembly: P7J from the 97-01 CRV.
- Compressor belt and tensioner: Any D-Series kit for the 92-95 Civic.
- Condenser and Condenser Fan: From any 92-95 Civic.

The car has the stock PS setup and I also want to know if the P7J bracket will be a problem with that.

I was always told you needed the P54 '94 Del Sol Vtec AC bracket on a B16A/B17A because of the shorter deck height. It bolts up, but interferes with the PS bracket I'm told. The CR-V bracket definitely works on any other B-series though, I've done it before.

Also '92 - '93 AC compressors are R12. '94 - '95 are R134a.

That's bad then, I want to keep PS and the P54 bracket is almost impossible to find used and is discontinued by Honda. Didn't know that, I'll keep an eye for a '94-'95 compressor then. The compressors are the same for all trims? Meaning that I can buy the compressor from an EX or Si from those years?

Yes. Technically none of those cars came with factory AC other than I believe '94 - '95 EX sedans. When those cars were new if you wanted AC it was added at the dealership before the car was delivered to the customer. All of them used the same accessory AC kit.
