Can you keep A/C with the H22A swap? Down here in Fl it's kinda important.

lol, i understand your concern, i live in south alabama..its very important, althought my a/c doesnt work that well..

No AC, but you might be able to keep p/s. Don't count on it though.

Ask Elude714. He had one of the first H22's installed in his car by the same people that make the engine mounts for our Ludes.
I don't recall him saying he didn't have P/S and from the pictures he sent me it looks like it's set up.
But yeah, if you see the pictures, there just isn't enough room in there for the air. In fact, i looks as though the damn engine is "shoe-horned" into the engine bay - being extremely close to the drivers side wheel well.

Want pics? I could ask him if it'd be okay.

Actually the p/s pump does fit with a little mod to the front left headlight bracket. AC.. well that can fit, but with some mods. The AC mod is by word of mouth, should be able to fit if you dont go turbo.

I said might on the p/s because it would really depend on the mounting kit you used for the engine. It would be one of those things I made sure would work out before buying a kit for me. I like my p/s. AC I can live without.
