Default couple of questions about EF's

ok guys as some of you know I am looking at getting a car and its going to be an EF. and
A. it dosent have power stearing, is this even offered with the 1991 SI model. and if it has been taken off how hard is it to put it back on.
B. it has no air conditioning how hard would it be to put it back on there and how costly would both of these things be?

power steering is for wimps, seriously the car weighs like 2200 pounds, its not hard to turn w/o power steering, but si's did have the powersteering

and ac is a pain to put back it if its removed, and expensive. and chances are if it has ac it most likely doesn't work unless you get it from a southern state where its always hot.

^^^agreed. I dont have powersteering in my civic and ive been fine with it for almost 2 years. And you can survive without ac, but it just sucks at times when its super hott outside.

You could try out a Quaife quick steering rack.

Only time A/C is good is when your rolling on the highway going like 130kph, and the wind is so strong you have to put the windows up... but you need some sort of air ventalation, when i had my corolla it was the sunroof i used. but A/C would kinda be nice then, but that is it
