I know this is a dumb question, but is the AC universal where you can connect it to an engine after a swap and it will still work fine?

i.e. You get an S model and swap a better Honda motor, will the AC still be usable to this new engine?

I am having trouble finding a decent VTEC model, just looking at other options. Please no dumb replies.

I'm not sure, I have a sol SI and when I put the B18C in there, the freon line would not bolt onto the stock location. If you can find someone that can weld aluminum, it should be less than $100 to weld your old threads on. right now its winter and I have no AC. We'll see when it gets hot.

where i live it gets to be 120+ degrees so AC is a must. i used the prelude compresso and had the lines fitted with prelude AC fittings then bent them gently into place and charged the system. i havent had any problems at all ith it
