I don't know if you can retro fit them, but if they are differen you could get some adapters from your local hardware store or www.summitracing.com

If you're doing things right, then you should already have the 13b-se or 12 front cover and pullies. In which case I would suggest you use the GSL-SE a/c compressor which would just bolt up to the now modified TII engine and the stock a/c plubming. Take a good look at the side of the engine where the compressor should be and you'll notice the four bolts/bolt holes where the compressor and bracket should line up. It's very simple.

I'm not sure if the TII compressor would work but I'd go this route just to be on the safe side. Also remember to get your system vacummed by a professonal a/c shop, not only will it be cooler, they'll check for leakes and check through your lines to make sure everything is ok.

To add to the mix, the FCs had 2 different compressors and line sets. Use the SE one if you can get it to fit up. The ac and ps mounting positions are reversed between the FBs and FCs.

you could put a/c back in the car but unless its like 100 degrees and your windows dont roll down, leave the pullies off that way you get a little more power out of the motor, not much but this is coming from a guy who likes to race.
