Update: Got it working. Yes, the engine must be running for the ECU to give the AC relay a ground. We have AC cutout for accell, and we have idle up.

Cody Ace bracket made mounting a lot easier. I got one of the older/earlier SR20 to S13 DE mounts. No removing of the AC comp. mount nubs was required. Bolted right on. Cody included a belt with the kit, KO 365, but it was too long, and 345 (also used on PS) was too short, but the 355 fit great.

We used all SOHC hoses, which required cutting off half the compressor mounting plate for those two hoses. The low side fits horribly, but surprisingly we got it to seal. Replaced all o-rings with greens, dumped in some PAG100 and a bit over 3 cans of 134 and it gets ice cold.

I am pretty stoked, as it gets well over 100 often here at the river on the AZ side. I can certainly see why those who don't "need" AC get rid of it, lol.

I'm available if anyone has any questions on their S13 SR20 AC system, and Cody has been great answering questions and supplying the mount.
