I put ac in an H22 eg hatch. I used an integra condensor, and had some of the lines custom made.

I used the h22 ac bracket and compressor, and had the lines made at our local hydralic/machine shop. It was TIGHT but its been almost a year and i think its still working on his car.

The biggest thing honestly is getting the lines mocked up and made. The rest can come from salvalge yards or local guys, just clean the parts out REAL good. I would probably buy a new compressor though.

as far as a h swap goes.... well i just got done with mine and i am happy with the power as far as a stock honda motor goes but i lost alot of driveability, you have axle bind and you have to be carefull with your oil pan, if i ever put another h in a ej1 it would have to be a h2b.... but thats just my 0.02

If you're going to go h22, save and go H2b. It's really a lot more bang for your buck. A/c should be a tad easier too with easier fitment. I've heard of people using CRV or d-series ac components without the need for custom ac lines.

You can find full h2b setups ready to go almost for $4,000 or so. Well worth it. Be patient. Do it right the first time.
