Cabin air filter... which one for my 97 EX?

Hi all. I am looking for the correct part number for the cabin air filter for my 1997 Civic Ex. I think it is made by Wix. I checked on RockAuto.co m but they don't really specify which one. All they say is 03/96 coup with AC- and then they point you to a filter. Well, that sounds a little bit like the year 1996 so I just want to be sure. So does anyone happen to have the Wix (or other please specify) part number or something? I seem to be having a hard time being sure which cabin air filter I need.

I can't link to Rockauto, but its there. You'll have to go there on your own if you want to see it because if I try to link it, it just takes you to their main menu anyways.

But Rockauto is one of the biggest parts suppliers in the world, so its odd that they would list it when it doesn't exist.

Re: Cabin air filter... which one for my 97 EX?

Nah theres a cabin air filter in my 2000 civic--it's behind the glovebox but you gotta take it fully out to see it. I actually haven't thought about replacing it since whenever im behind a smelly truck it does a good job of filtering the smell out.

...unless im talking about something totally different.

I think I know what you're talking about. Is it like some gold color or something next to the blower motor?
