Default Does this assembly belong to an Insight?

I was told this cooling assembly belonged to an Insight, but I don't know what it is. Anybody know? It looks like it has two condensers inline, but the solenoids and lines look strange.

Its not even close to the pictures in the factory service manual pg. 10-18 (radiator) or 21-38 (air conditioner).

AFAIK all Insights have a condenser that is wider than the radiatior. And the A/C plumbing is much different than any Honda I am familiar with.

Its definitely Japanese, maybe a Prius?

HTH!

Yeah I'll second that. The Insight radiator is alluminum, but the condensor is painted black and is about 50% larger than the radiator.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, I'll look into it. I couldn't find anything related to an Insight that looked similar either, but I didn't think about checking a Prius. We got that assembly with a bunch of other Honda parts, so I assumed it was Honda.
