How to install factory A/c on an EF chassis ('88-'91) Civic/CRX

In this video, I do my best to show and explain exactly how to route your A/c lines, where every component goes, and what to replace even if you already have it, as well as plenty of useful tips for installing factory A/c in an '88-'91 Civic/CRX. At the end of the day, an extra 40 ish lbs isn't going to have a noticeable effect on your car's performance, so if you use your EF as a street car or daily driver and have the means to acquire all the parts necessary to install it, A/c is a must have IMO.

45mins to 1hr is fine.. got to do a decay test to see that it stays at negative where you left it after turning off the vaccum.. make sure your gauges have new hoses or good seals..it can give you a false leak when after all it was your hoses of the gauges and not your car

my condenser fan is zip tied lol

I own a 91 sedan and will attempt to get the ac working again so this video is extremely helpful. Where did you buy the "hardline" hoses by the way?

[@RX7RM]

I was lucky enough to find them at a junk yard. Sometimes people sell them in car groups though.

[@cambo_soup96]

Yea I need to do my EG ac havnt work since I own it.

[@DJV94022]

Most likely bad schredver valves and dirty evap coil blocking the surface from releasing vapor causing high pressure busting out thru the valves

[@aldermolina8770]

By any chance have you got a link to the expansion valve? Thanks in advance and awesome job on the video 👍🏽👍🏽

I don't think I can post web addresses in comments, but they're pretty easy to find on Rockauto. Just look under Heating and Air Conditioning for the year/make/model of your car. I'm pretty sure all of them are for R134a seeing as R12 is phased out, but if you want to be sure just click on the info button and find one that says specifically that it's made for R134a.

@@RX7RM awesome thanks for the help though! ✌🏽
