Default What do I need to put an AC in a non AC-equipped car...

My car is in my sig, but I would like to buy all the parts needed for installing an AC, but I don't know what I will need.

Thanks, and I appreciate any help given.

here is a pic:

the only thing i think isn't pictured is the actual button for the dash,and the wiring harness that plugs in at the right side of the engine bay.somewhere has a complete parts list,but now i can't find it.
one of the discount OEM suppliers sells the OEM kit for $7xx.xx,but i'm not sure if honda still makes it for them to even get it.

I have the 2 lines that come out of the firewall and all the **** behind the glovebox out of my hatch if you are interested in it. Make an offer and it is yours. I will probably just end up tossing it anyway. my hatch came with the condensor and pump missing. my email is mrnicolas@hotmail.com

Yes.

Without the expansion valve, you will not blow cold ac. Without the Receiver drier, you will soon have dirty refrigerant and perhaps clog the compressor.

i think i would take care of that 1.5 quarts of oil ur burning first that does not sound too good and u might need different a/c stuff aka "custom" since u dont have the stock engine in there?

I have the complete system from my 93 CX. Includes the mounting bracket for D series, compressor, lines, condensor, evaporator, Wiring, fan, expansion valve and reciever dryer as well. The only thing you will need is the styrafoam that goes around the evaporator. Shoot me an offer and its yours.
