    Default ac bracket

    I've got the ac bracket mounted in my hatch but i do not have power steering.

    I know it was a "b" to get it in behind the factory header.

    I'm thinking you will be close on the ac and power steering steering trying to be in the same area at the same time.

    Actually, some EFs (EDs) come stock with ps. My hatch has ps. I dont see the point, but it's still pretty cool.

    i decided to just scrap the p/s. i need the ac, i have a 2 1/2 year old son and the old 480 a/c (4down 80mph) won't cut it. my car came stock with p/s it's an ex 4dr, but i found a nice write up on how to use a t fitting and an old clutch reservoir to get rid of it so

    Yea make sure you convert it right because otherwise you will wear out the rack faster because it is a power steering rack and not a manual one

    Just swap in a manual rack. It's pretty simple.
