if you don't have the lines, you will need them. compressor, condensor, and lines. then you gotta hook it all up and get it charged if it's r12, or get a kit if it's r134a

it would be easier to just get a p54 ac bracket from a dohc del sol...you could bolt your civics compressor right up to the bracket and then the bracket right up to the block

I would use your stock lines. You shouldn't have to adapt anything, but if you do just find the right adapter. Did the car have a/c to begin with? If so, just hook it all up and get it charged. If it didn't you will need stcok lines, condensor canister, and compressor. Also, did the b18 have a/c to begin with? If it didn't you will need a new crank pulley and a/c bracket...
