Default Another A/C thread D16Z6

I hate to be that guy asking an A/C question in spring. I have done an extensive amount of reading but i cant find sufficient info on whether or not an entire D16 1995 Del Sol A/C system will swap into a D16Z6 93 Del Sol. I am completely replacing my old R-12 system with R-134a. I plan on buying everything new from the year 1995 1.6L category from rock auto for my 93 Del sol but i wasn't sure if everything would be a direct bolt in when it comes to the specifics such as the A/C pressure switches, metal hard lines, increased compressor sizes, P28 computer issues, etc when it comes down to the D16Z6 specifically. I know the thermostat in the evap core will go from a 2 wire to a 3 wire but i would like confirmation on these topics before i drop $500 while being jobless from Covid-19.

Thank you for any help

I just did this with my 93 civic , I had gone to the junkyard and picked up lines from a 95 civic, a car that was running r134. My civic had r12 previously. I wanted to replace the entire a/c system so no contamination would occur. So I went to autozone and ordered a new evaporator core & condensor for a 93 civic .When I received the parts nothing bolted up. The port fittings on a older civic/del sol are smaller lines from a 95 civic. I ended up returning the parts and ordering same parts but for newer model year “95”
You will need to replace all parts in ac system to newer year, 95.
also I replaced my compressor with a 95 civic because the 93 lines would not hook up.
I have a z6 engine in my car as well
was able to pick up all the lines from a junkyard at $18 super cheap as well as a compressor for $70 which is oem. I just made sure the system still had pressure so I knew the system could hold a charge.
bought a new Evaporator core and condensor from autozone
Also purchased a OEM pressure switch because the older style one doesn’t bolt to the condensor

Also I had to buy a new Expansion valve. I used the same temp sensor that was in the old evaporator core.

Awesome thanks for the response. Did you have to change out any relays or any electrical connections?

Nope just the pressure switch.
