Default need help with ac

Does anyone know if a 96 to 98 civic hatch ac kit would fit a 2000 civic hatch?

Anything is possible, however the 2 cars use different compressors with different mounting, [96-98 is a "pad" mount w/ 5.25" pulley, 2000 is a "tangent" mount w/4" pulley] and different manifolds, [A/C lines off compressor] the condenser is the same, the big problem is the evaporator, the 96-98 Civic evaporator will most likely not fit the 2000 civic evap. housing. 94

A/C parts should be kept original to the car when possible to avoid conflicts. If you are driving a 2000 DX hatch, use parts for that car and use a bracket (or modify as required) that will mount that compressor to the engine.
