I removed my AC and all associated hardware and weighed it (38 lbs) and that is at the very nose of the car, out in front of the engine, and I noticed no improvement in handling. Honestly, when you consider the driver is a 200 lb fatass, the gas tank varies from 75 to 0 lbs depending on how full it is (and what model you're driving), your stereo may be upwards of 50 lbs, etc etc etc... this amount of weight is truly negligible. And whoever said that an H22 couldn't pull on a b18c, thats just crazy. More power and more torque = more thrust, duh.
Also a side note, an H22 crx was recently recorded at 1.03 G on a 200 ft skidpad, which is pretty phenominal for a FWD car on DOT tires.
Doing a H22 isent worth the work that you could do with a B Series. There arent has many options to h motor to a B. And like i said earlier H22 pulls from 100 MPH and up to a b18c. there not all what there cracked up to be.
