i have a 1991 honda crx hf. i put in a single cam zc. i have the si ac compressor mounting bracket bolted up to the block and the underdrive pulley and the ac compressor tensioner line up. is the hf and si compressor totally differant because the pulley on the compressor is no where near lining up and are the upper and lower lines any differant

 

88-91 CRX/Civic cars with A/C could have 2 different compressors - some came with a Matsushita compressor and some came with a Sanden compressor - the compressors have different brackets and different lines - you need a compressor and bracket that matches the rest of the A/C system

 

thanks that explains everything

 

just another quick little question. if i was to get new lines that connect to the compressor and i go to autozone and i tell them i want a compressor upper and lower lines do you think they would line up and everything would fit if i told them its for a 1.6l instead of the 1.5l that the car came with

 

the different compressors weren't by model like 1.5 or 1.6 - some 1.5s had one compressor and some had the other - some 1.6s had one compressor and some had the other

 

so i go to autozone and pick up a new compressor. they ask what vehicle and what size motor all i have to do is to tell those guys i need the compatable parts for this compressor so the fittings go on correctly. i would suppose it would be easy enought to test the fittings before i leave

 

just look on the compressor you have for the name of the manufacturer and then get the other one
