I read somewhere that if i put in a bigger engine, i wont be able to have Air Conditioning because the lines would get in the way. I want to do a b18 (LS) swap and i still want my AC because it gets hot here in the summer, and in New York traffic, windows rolled down doesnt cut it... So, for those of you with Engine Swaps, can i still have AC?

I know it can be done with the B16A swap - you have to buy a special mounting brackett... I think its the same for the B18 swap... why they charge $199 for this I have no idea!

Well the SiR came with air-con and there's no issue there - I can't see the B18 being much different to the B16 unless it has to do with the aftermarket engine mounts you guys use.

It's worth it, I can't stand no air-con in the middle of 40 deg C Aussie summers :)

I got a/c and a swap:finger: Then again the SOHC ZC uses the same mounts as the D15. Welll technically I dont have a/c right now cause the compressor blew up, but as soon as that guy from alabama sends me the one I bought from him, imma be sittin pretty:D

You got lucky man, for some reason the HAsport site is down. Or maybe it's my stupid computer. :confused:
