Default B-series swap into my EK. What AC bracket?

First off I'm putting a B-series motor into my 99 hatchback. I've been told by some people that I need a Del Sol VTEC bracket and some others have told me I need a 99-00 Si bracket. I have no clue which one I need or if they're both the same.

A couple months ago I purchased a Del Sol bracket from a member here. It's stamped P30. Last night after we got the swap in the car we realized that the bracket wouldn't work.

Help a brother out. Summertime is coming and I needs the AC!

I got you homie...tell those jackasses that tell you you need the del sol bracket, that they should shut the fuck up b/c they don't know jack shit. You can use the 99-00 si bracket or the older model crv that came with the b20. I'm pretty sure the crv one is cheaper. Simple...

Edit: Oh and any other questions you may have, come to me first. If I don't have the answer, then the question will never be answered. haha j/k but I do know my stuff.

Thanks man. Do you know if the P30 stamped bracket is a Del Sol bracket? I'm asking cause I have no idea. The bracket I have now was sold to me as a Del Sol bracket and that shit doesn't work.

nah dude, same motor, but different chassis. Think about it. The del sol works for 92-95 civics w/ b series.

You need the P54 bracket if your retaining your stock D-Series AC compressor.

99-00 uses a B-Series compressor.

P30 uses a B-Series Compressor.

Holla if you need me to get you one thru my work.

Oh I didn't see this. P30 is an Obd1 b16, so I'm guessing is came on the del sol. That's was the only obd1 model to ever come with a b16. In fact, you may even have a jdm bracket.

I used the crv bracket. Not sure of the code. I can check if you want. I like it, it was freeeeee.

Thanks Jarrod.
