Filled the tank and took it to a reputable local shop to charge AC and run a safety inspection.
Driving with the new clutch system will take some practice. It’s very sensitive to throttle input and the clutch is very short. I’m very excited by the over all drive though. Once I settle in and get past nerves it’s going to be a lot of fun. Adjustment to clutch aside more low end power makes for easy driving. It’ll be interesting to get it out to where I can wind it up more and see how it behaves.

No leaks in the AC system and the shop got it charged but noted the compressor clutch wasn’t turning on. They confirmed the compressor clutch worked if directly powered so it’s a wiring issue.
The tech did a pretty basic inspection but didn’t see any issues in brake or safety systems.
Back at home I looked closer at the wiring, the issue was obvious pretty quickly. The AC(fan, compressor, pressure switch) harness I used was from the 97 LS. Prior to 98, Integra’s had 2 relays in the middle of this harness, post 98 these relays were relocated to the fuse box. While both harnesses use an 8pin connector the 97 uses 7 wires for power supply, relay control wires, and pressure switch where the 98+ harness contains only 4 wires for directly powering the fan and compressor clutch, and 2 wires for the pressure switch. The fix will be easy, simply remove the relays and match 98 wiring, but due to access will require removal of the front bumper again.
