Default Air conditioning compatability EG<>EK

I have done a search and came up with no good information. I will soon be attempting an a/c changeover. What I have is a 98 civic that was wrecked and the A/c was never reapired, the previous owner took out the compressor, condenser, and dryer and all underhood lines. I have all the necessary parts from a 95 del sol in working condition. Which parts if any, can I use on the ek civic? I will be replacing the lines, condenser/condenser fan, dryer and all under hood hardware. I was told that all these parts were interchangeable, is this true? Thanks for the help in advance.

i would just test fit some lines. i know some of the under dash stuff is different, so if your 98 still has all that you may be in business. the condensor and compressor from the 95 will work, since both systems are 134a. there is a good chance the lines will work, good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Yes all the underdash and in-cabin hardware is still there. I was looking at a breakdown for both systems and it looks like the pressure switch is on a different location on the EK civic as compared to the condenser mounted switch that the Eg incorperates. Will this be a problem? I am really looking for someone who has seen both systems, or maybe tried this.......

Can I get a bump for a second on that last response?

I am doing a car swap depending on the compatability of the A/c system in a few days. If the del sol system will not work on the EK civic, then i have to tell this guy no, but if it will work, I can do the trade. Thanks to all.
