Hey guy's I bought my 93 hatch and apparently it has no AC I'm pretty much a noob at anything mechanical so i hope to learn thru you guys here and from researching around. The previous owner said somthing about an RB being in the car and took it out when he sold it to me and put the KA back. He also added somthing about the car not having a condenser, lines, compressor, bracket and the tension for the motor. I have no idea what any of these things are but I just listed them maybe to help you guys have a clue of what i may need to do. I know I need to learn this stuff I hope I don't get flamed for beeing a noob lol. thanks to allmy fellow Nico users.

Joe.

so what do you want to know? you have the list of things you need, go buy it if you want a/c in your car. if you want to know what each part does, then you should goggle it.

Compressor - big thing on side of motor that rotates off a belt driven by your motor

Bracket - bolts to block and holds compressor

Tension/Idler - Basically a pulley that's on the bracket and is attached to the compressor via a belt

Lines - lines that go from compressor --> condensor --> dryer --> blower --> vents

Condensor - looks like a radiator, pretty much is.

Dryer - cylinder shaped thing next to the battery (read below)

VERY IMPORTANT:

Unless it's completely sealed off, you're going to need a dryer. If it's exposed to air for a period of time, it's contaminated. You're either going to have to get a new one or get one that is still sealed.
