Title says it all, I bought the car with the swap already done, and the AC was removed as well, I assume the two were related, is there some reason AC can't be retained with the swap? And if not, which components do I need? Obviously I can use a 2g condenser and evaporator, but what about the lines, compressor, accumulator etc. Also, if I get an FMIC will I have room for that and a condenser up front? Because that is probably my next upgrade...
 
you can use the 2g ac lines and components, and as far as the as condensor and front mount it should be a issue, but it all depends on what front mount you have in mind. i know with the vr speed and punishment racing front mounts you can still keep your ac condensor.
 
To get ac back after my 6 bolt swap I believe I had to find a 1g bracket. Don't quote me on that. All other components from the 2g can be used, you will have room after the install of the FMIC. Id recommend searching "FMIC ducting" so you don't overheat while using the ac. Im running the punishment racing FMIC, I paid a
Shop to reinstall my ac, they provided the bracket for a total of about $500 with a motor mount replaced and vacuum of the lines and freon. The things I do for my gf :(
