I searched...didn't find anything...I'm going to be doing a b16 swap...is it possible to NOT disconnect the A/C when pulling the motor? and then install the HASport AC mount when putting it all back together? I mean it's not that big of a deal, if I can just have my system evacuated and pull the compressor, I just might as long as it won't be too big of a deal putting it all back in later. I work at Honda so the evacuation won't be a problem.

 

Yes..
I unbolted it from the a/c bracket and tied it up out of the way
with some mechanics wire..No problem..

 

Sweet, cuz I'd really like to not have to hassle with evacuating the a/c...although it might be fun to run without my A/C compressor for a couple events and then put it back in when it start to get warm....

Just to note that it is much easier to get access to the A/C bracket bolts (and torque them to the proper spec.) with the exhaust manifold removed.

Good point...

 

I'm also wondering what mount you can use...I know you're supposed to use the HASport one...but for the time being(won't be running a belt on it, just want it mounted) how many bolts line up off the A6 bracket? or is there another US bracket I can use that will mount up perfect?

I'm not sure. Mines just sitting on the front crossmember for the time being. So far it's been the perfect place for it.

 

I plan on doing some HPDE events...can't have the compressor not secured...
