Default 1992 civic b swapped ac revival

b20 swapped civic i have has no ac at all. no heater core, evaporator no heater ducts. the compressor, condenser all the lines and the drier are missing. i want to know what all i need to buy to revive the ac. i have a guy that can sell me everything besides the heater core says i dont need to unless i want heat, is this true and will everything from a stock civic 1992 fit since i have a b20 swap. including stock civic compressor bracket?

a parts car with complete A/C. doesn't have to be working A/C. you get everything you need, see how it goes together sell what's left over that you don't need and make most of the money back.

I'm aware this scenario is impractical for some folks, but it is the best way to go about it.

there are or once were swap brackets available for mounting an original compressor to a B-series. innovative and Hasport may still offer them.

would this bracket fit on the b20 and fit the d series compressor. i found a good bit of bracket part outs not sure exactly which ones will fit they all look very similar to p54 and p7j

Nope. That is a SOHC A/C bracket.

This is the answer... and yet, you ignore it. I believe these can still be purchased new from your local Honda Parts Department. For the more budget conscious... you would be scouring the junkyards for a '94-97 DOHC Del Sol VTEC A/C bracket (P54) or a '97-01 CRV A/C bracket (P7J). These 3-digit codes are cast into the A/C brackets... you will know them when you see them... although you may have to clean them thoroughly before you can identify them.

97-01 CRVs are usually plentiful at the junkyard.
If you see one at the junkyard, they are usually pretty cheap to grab a hold of.
I'm using P7J bracket for my B20V swap.



P7J looks like this.

straight b20 you use 94-01 LS/GS/RS brackets
B20VTEC you use 94-01 GSR/ITR brackets or 99-00 Si brackets or 94-97 Del Sol DOHC VTEC brackets
PS pumps are the same non/vtec just make sure you get the integra PS line
PS pumps will differ obd1/2 but again if you get the PS line that matches you will be fine
