2001 Honda Civic AC Kit Installation Instructions

The A/C kit and instructions for the 2001 Civic are all new. Follow these instructions carefully. Use only HFC-134a in this system; do not use CFC 12 (Freon); do not install parts designed for use in a CFC system. Use a charging station. A/C charging stations and refrigerant recovery/recycling stations minimize the release of CFCs and HFCs to the atmosphere. Use them for all A/C charging and service work according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Do not overcharge. This system requires only the amount of HFC-134a refrigerant shown below. If you overcharge the system, the engine and the A/C will malfunction.
Before you begin:
Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the audio system. Write down the customer’s radio station presets; the radio memory will be erased when you disconnect the battery. Make sure you install the right part. Use the illustrations on pages 2 and 3 as a guide to check the parts before you install them. Don’t remove plugs and caps from fittings until the parts are ready to connect. This will keep out moisture and dirt which could cause wear and damage.
