Well you would need all your AC stuff...compressor, drier, condensor, evaporator, high and low pressure lines, AC harness, compressor mount and tensioner that goes onto the engine, and AC button inside the car.

I took all of my ac hardware from a 92-93 Civic sedan and put it in my 94 civic

The r12 lines are smaller than r134a and require less freon. R12 prices has Bennett rising steadily

- Wed Jul 18, 2012 4:13 am #311314 yes sir you just have to find a legit one near the border and just get the ac fixed and come back. But my hatch looks like a beater so i dont really have to worry about getting car jacked.
