Default a/c work with aftermarket radiator?

idk why it wouldnt just wondering since it now has a thicker core... its 94 integra with a koyo full length. also, if the wires were all tucked would it be a pain to make it work? like if the harness for the a/c plug was cut obviously i would be screwed right? TIA

Your question isn't really clear. Are you asking if the fan will fit with the thicker core? The radiator itself has nothing to do with the operation of the A/C, as the A/C condensor sits in front of the radiator. And what is this about your harness being cut?

oh im sorry. no no i know the fan will, its a slim fan. im asking if the condensor and compressor will still fit. ok i found out about the harness, the harness was tucked so i was wondering if it would be a pain to get the clip that connects to the compressor. here is a pic of the bay and i want to know if I can hook up A/C:

So I take it this is a Civic that used to have a half-width radiator and fan, and a half-width condensor and fan, but you're trying to install a full width radiator AND a full-width condensor from an Integra, plus the 2 fans behind the radiator?

Damn that's crazy that nobody else has anything to add.

I don't see why it wouldn't fit, tons of people run aftermarket radiators on Integras with no problems. I knew a guy in Nashville with an ITR running a Fluidyne radiator and still had all the factory fans and A/C stuff.

i don't see why it wouldn't work. the radiator sits in the same place i think. it's just thicker? there's still that black thing in front of the radiator for the ac to operate right? as long as all the lines are there?

yeah all makes sense, just was worried about the width not allowing the compressor to fit

I'm running a Fluidyne radiator (Same thickness I believe) and FAL fans (Not slimline) with A/C and have had no problems at all. Didn't have to wrap lines or anything. Good luck man.



P.S.: I know a few things are missing, some dumbass broke in my car Sunday night and stole off my intake, oil cap, and spark plug wires
