Default Keeping ac in EK with GSR swap question?

I have a stock 99 EK sedan, ex model.

Okay, I know if I want to keep the single cam ac I could either use the p54/crv ac bracket...

What if I keep the gsr ac compressor, etc, would I be able to use the stock gsr ac bracket and have it still fit in my ek?

Thanks.

I don't think you can use it. The stock AC lines are too long.

I remember reading a thread like this on Honda-Tech. You have to use all the components
out of your car and you just change the bracket to a p54 or CRV one like you said.

I'm sure if I'm wrong though, someone will correct me.

Will I not be able to use my original ac lines then?

If you use the d-series compressor then yes. But if you use the B-series compressor then no. I don't think lines from an Integra will work either. You could use the lines from an SI because the compressor from an SI is the same size as the GSR one you have.

Here's a link to one of the threads on the topic.

True, but I can get the entire ac setup off a b16a2 for free, so I just wanted to know if it will fit on a gsr motor in my ek

Technically, it should work.
