AC sawp...

[ZCrazyman]

hey i have a Civic Std and i wanted to know what all do i need for the AC is pretty much everything there or do i have to RE wire the whole car for AC... i have found ALOT of donner cars at the junkyard

Ok, Crazyman, here's the deal:
Installing AC into a car that never had it requires lots of time, money, and hassle. More than your car is worth, actually.
You'd be better off just selling your STD and buying a Honda with AC.
When I got rid of my 89 STD, I bought a 1990 LX, just to have all of the goodies, including power windows,power steering, and glorious working air conditioning..
Sorry to bring you bad news.

it can't be that hard, the car probably has all the required mounting points (since it was a dealer installed accesory). Also, if he gets all the parts from the wreckers it shouldn't be too expensive.....

well it shouldent be that hard part of the harness for the AC plug is behind the dash along with the ac compressor wire has anyone done this swap???

It will be a pain in the ass. Ive never put a whole kit on a 4th gen or rex but it cant be too much fun. You gotta get all the lines, the compressor, condensor, evaporator, o-t, reciever/dryer... just too much of a hastle in my opinion.

ok i seem to of found some wiring taped with the honda IMFAMUS BLUE tape (add on wiring) and it was BEHIND the blower motor and i seem to of found were u plug in the engine compartment wiring for the relay's can anyone confirm this??? is this how the cars that CAME with AC work?? does the inside wring plug into a plug??

I cant tell you how hard it would be to install, but if your intested I'll sell you the entire system out of a 88 hatch. I'll need to keep the evaporator box though unless you want to send me your non-AC one. If your intested PM me and I'll give you a price.

well i figured it out its actually very easy if u have all the parts since i have all the parts now (i seemed to of found the harness) it went pretty easy now all i need is some O-rings and some refrigerent and a DOHC ZC
