Radiator Question
 
My 92 Dx with no a/c needs a new one.
I was wondering if a radiator from a 96 civic w/ a/c will be able to work in my car?

it'll work
just make sure you get the one that matches you transmission. the manual transmission ones don't have the ports for the automatic transmission cooler thing.

The A/C is seperate from the radiator. If you have automatic transmission you need a radiator with transmission fluid cooler. An automatic radiator can be used in a manual car. Simply leave the transmission cooler disconnected.

Also, get a one piece aluminum radiator instead of those el cheapo 3 piece ones.

I have a manual car, and the radiator is coming out of an automatic car.
Should have put that in my first post.
By disconnected do you mean to plug them up?
Thanks for the help.
Appreciate it.

You don't have to plug them up. It's a seperate circuit so no coolant will come out unless the cooler is defective, which is very rare.

YES, any EG radiator should work.
