Default b16a in crx and keeping a/c questions

I've read where you would need a different a/c mount if keeping the a/c. Is this true? This is for a 91 CRX Si. Also, would the belt that goes around my a/c clutch pully fit the crankshaft wheel that comes on the b16a motor or would you have to change the clutch on the existing a/c compressor to make the belt match? I've also heard you have to cut or bend the frame or something for the compressor to fit. Is this true? Also, anybody that says search for it can kiss my white and shiny.

All you need is a New A/C Compressor and the A/C bracket, all which I both need, because I don't have them

So you can't use the existing a/c compressor? If this is true, that means keeping the a/c will cost an extra 400 bucks or so if doing the swap? The a/c mount plus a different compressor would equal at least 400 bucks i would think, plus recharging, etc.

Keeping my sohc zc with the a/c in my crx is starting to sound better by the moment. Selling my car as is and then buying a newer gsr or something would be just as cheap as swaping a b16a in my crx.

that would be the only reason I would sell my car, A/C, Power Windows and Power Locks, to do all that in my car would be almost a grand
