ok so more stupid questons, but.

I hearing 3 different things on this topic. So i figured i would ask the knowledgeable source.

So i have a DOHC KA in my car now, When i swap in the CA it will have the AC Compressor with it. Will the KA AC Lines work with the CA Compressor?

Simplest way to have AC is to sit in your car, look to your left and you'll see either a crank or a button, use accordingly. Just kidding man, seriously though the compressor is in the worst possible spot (not that there is a better place) and is really a PIA and complicates the engine bay alot. Although if you're dead set on having AC I have no knowledge pertinent to your question, sorry.

SOHC lines work

I have heard that part of 92 240sx's had the same lines, but idk how accurate that is.

also a SOHC compressor will work if you need it.

worst part for me was wiring........ I ended up just wiring the compressor to a switch
