Default Will Civic A/C bolt to a B motor for temp?

Does it line up just for bolting on? I talking about like leaving the belt off and just having the compressor hanging on the motor not being used. The reason I'm asking is because I haven't got my bracket yet but the motor is going in this weekend and I'm gonna need the car Monday. If not I guess I'll have to wait another week and do the swap with no help.

You will be able to bolt it onto the b series ac bracket temporarily with two bolts.

No I'm talking about putting the D bracket on the B motor just for temp mounting. I'm not going to put a belt on or try to run the AC until I get the right bracket.

If you're talking about putting the D Series torque mount/ac compressor mount onto the B Series block then no, it will not work. The D Series mount won't fit onto the B Series block.

You can run without the mount, it will be better than using the D-series mount. This is a temp, thou. Get it fix ASAP

What do you mean run without the mount? Just hang the compressor somewhere in the bay? Or can I bolt it on using like 1 bolt.? I just need something so I can drive the car maybe 15 miles to and from work.

You need the bracket in order to bolt in the a/c compressor. If not, it's just going to hand around. I wouldn't recommend that.
