Default 4th gen accord, 5th gen engine swap.

My dad got in a wreck today and he drives a 95 accord while i have a 90. Recently my accord's A/C went out and my engine has 240k miles on it. I was wondering if I wanted to swap engines if that was a decent possibility and if i could what would i need? Are most of the parts and what not interchangable between those model years? Secondly, can i at least pull the a/c compressor out of the 95 and put it in my 90 or do they use different ones because he just bought a brand new compressor as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

why dont you do yourself a favor and im sure this is probably everyone elses advice in here too but i think its time you help yourself to a h22 preferably j-spec.
Then and only then youll be like thanks honda-tech youll love your car for it everyday. but just dont while your driving or installing it.

pretty much interchangable, you'll have to drain the freon from the a/c in your car and the 5th gen, (get a shop to do it!), and then you'll have to get it recharged onced swapped in. I'm not certain that this particular part swaps directly over, but I wouldn't see why not.
