Does anybody have a working a/c with the b-16a motor in their crx? I've read where there are clearance problems with the a/c lines. This is even after you buy the a/c compressor mount to make it fit. Question being, what do you have to do to keep your a/c with the motor swap?

ive got the a2, and AC. There arent any clearance issuse that i ran into with my swap, except i hard to lower my engine in at a 45 degree angle so i wouldnt have to decompress the lines, it was a ghetto, but it saved me like 40 bucks. Ive got some pictures somewhere, maybe ill find them and post them if you want. the AC fan on the otherhand does have some clearance problems...i had to take mine out but i dont have any overheating problems, im more of a roll down the window kinda guy.

shit you can do everything the same swap wise, you can install an adaptor mount (hasport which is better or place racing makes these) after your swap and not touch shit on your lines. its EASY

Ok. Last summer I stayed in Savannah for the most part. I put a thermometer in my car just out of curisioty, and every time I got in the car it would be maxed out which is at over 140 degrees F.
That means most of the interior peices are that temperature, and trust me when you're already hot before you get in the car, rolling down the windows isn't going to do any good at all.
Actually if you want to be comfortable you have to have the AC on for a while before you get into the car.
I usually start making sure my AC is in good working order in April or May.
