ac installation

[sik88civic]

please advise
i recently purchased an 88 honda civic which was supose to come with ac. unfortunatly I realized after i bought it that the compressor was missing. All the other items are installed, the piping and ac button in the dash. what is the procedure for installing the compressor as it seems that there is little room to work between the manifold and the radiator. What are the items which are required to be connected to be connected to the ac???

cheers.

And what other cars can we take the compressor from? I tried one from a prelude which did not work!

Yeah, cause I have called every junkyard in my area, and nobody has the mitsuba compressor from an 88-91 civic
