Exclamation questions unanswered ?

Hey everyone.. This is my first honda project and I'm sure these two questions will be super easy for you guys but non the less I need to know what these are..

(these wires are below the alternator. I figured they went to fog lights? )



(this I figured was for the ac? but one problem is I got this car and since it's a h22 swap it doesnt have power steering or ac) What can I do to get the ac and power steering back in this car)



If I'm wrong about these just let me know.. I'm learning more and more about this car as I go along.

If those are fog lights there'd be one connector like that on each side, also a fog light switch on the dash. It could also be something related to A/C if there's only that one.

In the second picture, that looks like the end of the A/C hose that connects to the compressor. I don't know if there is going to be room to install A/C with the alternator on the front where the compressor and condenser would normally be with the stock D16 engine.

I have heard you cant have A/C With an H22, but i bet if you really wanted to, and were good at fabricating you could....

2nd picture is definitely an A/C line, first pic I believe is condenser connector portion of the harness.

ok guys thanks.. I have been told that I can have someone make me a bracket for I can get the ac back in the car.. I might not even mess with it but just curious to why they would even run everything for the ac if it can't even be hooked back up.

A/c is an expensive piece of equipment, consisting of several expensive parts. Were they all taken out, and now gone?
If so the cost is probably not worth it.
P/s maybe easier, depending on what is missing, and did they or did they not change the rack & pinion.

The 1996 to 2000 wiring harnesses were all completely factory wired for A/C. But the cars all left the factory without A/C. If the customer wanted it, the dealer would bolt on the mechnical parts before selling the car.

The hoses etc. should have been removed for a cleaner swap job, if they weren't going to put the compressor back on the H22.

You will also need a condenser and condenser fan. It looks like there's just no room for it with the header there.
