all of my Si's, CRX's and HB's have had AC. even my DX CRX did as well. that's been 4 cars total, but only 1 of them had working ac. so it should have AC. as far as putting it on, you will just need everything for the system and it should just bolt right up.

You need the whole system, a full set of new o-rings, seals, and the like, probably a new/refub compressor, a new dryer, and a charge. Bank on $400-600 if you can put it in yourself.
Once it is all together, you better hope it doesn't leak.

yeah, but in AZ, air conditioning is a godsend. You pretty much can't have a car without A/C down there, if you do, you are seriously hardcore (Coming from a VA resident.)

i believe the ac was a dealer option on all models. my current si did not have it installed but my 88 standard hatch had it and it worked great. try and maybe find a si at a junk yard and rip the whole system out and go from there.
