You dont know how to search too well do you? I just searched the word SOHC in the SR forum:

Basically if you didnt read any of the other posts, the DOHC PS and AC should be used.

And if you want to retain the cluster in MPH then swap out the SOHC MPH gauge with a DOHC MPH gauge: http://www.lsauto.com/install.asphttp:/ ... gauges.htm

You dont' need to swap the MPH from SOHC to DOHC, you need to swap tachs, unless you are going with an aftermarket tach. For power steering, I posted a WTB ad on thepartstrader.com and 240sx.org classifieds, and I was able to buy all the lines for $40. As for the A/C, use the SR compressor, the KA compressor won't work, same with P/S pump.

If you use the SR compressor you need new lines, if you use the KA compressor you need a new bracket. : )

To also add to this, you'll need to swap the sr pulley onto the ka compressor because the ka pulley is a 3 ribbed pulley and the sr I believe is a 4 or 5 ribbed pulley so the belt for the sr is wider.
