Default AC Setup for B20 EG

Well I'm outta SoCal and if you don't know it's getting hot as hell so I figure it's about time to throw the AC back in the ride. I have a 93 hatch with a B20 setup and I need to know what components I need to get my AC back up and running. I was told that I can use my single cam compressor and I just need to buy a del sol bracket to mount it on my block, but if anyone out there is running this setup and has AC, or knows what I need to make this functional, please let me know!!!

92-95 compressor for sure. you might be able to use 96-00 except si's. i have heard that you can use a b20 bracket but if not del sol vtec's (p54) bracket.

the delsol vtec bracket will allow you to use you a/c compressor that already is in your car.

Use the car's stock compressor and hoses and a Del Sol VTEC AC bracket...but be prepared...I payed $150 for the bracket from the dealership...but the AC is so worth it.

what hassle? i drop off my car at an a/c place give em 80 bucks and they make the lines and everything another 30 or so to fill it up with freon and i walk away with nice a/c. i think getting custom hoses made is easier than switching brackets and everything (easier cause i dont have to do it lol)
