    owner took out AC, and i want it back

    well, the previous owner of the accord took out the AC components in the engine bay. is it possible to add it back into the car if i get the compressor and the condensor back?

    also, id like to convert it to R134A, ive seen kits on the napa website, but all they seem to be are just rubber seals. are those seals just made for R134A specificly?

    shouldn't be a problem at all to re-install the A/C

    yes, but the point behind installing AC again is the fact that it gets really freakin hot during the summer, and since this car wont get driven in the winter, i want atleast AC as luxury. i guess it doesnt help that i live in one of the colder regions of alberta...



    im not sure if my car originally has a nippondenso or kehlin compressor, so does it matter which one i get?

    as far as I remember the mounting brackets and the belt is different, so make sure you get the matching bracket to the compressor. everything else is the same. I was going to replace mine awhile back but decided to just remove the a/c completely

    so if i were to grab the ac bracket, compressor, and the hard lines, and the dryer, is that good enough since i have the condensor and the vaporator so far?
