hello everyone im new to this forum! theres alot of people here that know ALOT about swaps so i decided to join.
well heres my problem. i have a 2000 civic si that i bought at a auction. car was stolen so engine was gone and some interior stuff. well i bought a 2000 gsr engine from a friend thats complete!
i got the swap pretty much covered. so my question is that i wanna keep ac and ps. ive searched and everyone says that you have to get the brackets off of a 99-00 civic or the del sol. but from what i understand this is done to retain a civic ac (d-series) compressor because of the ac lines. since my car is a si do i have to switch my ac comp.? it has the ac lines still. so i would like to know if i could just use the ps and ac from my b18c1? its still attached to the engine. is it possible to keep it? i know this is a rare swap but my situation is different. i think itll just drop in but would like to know before the engine goes in. ill appreciate any help and thanks in advance!
