Don't half-do it, or you'll get to pay twice for the compressor.
And STILL pay to replace the other parts, too!
I did find
this kit on eBay. I didn't see what size motor you had, so verify, Verify, VERIFY if it fits or not for you.
You'll also need the R134a refrigerant, a gauge set, and a vacuum pump.
You'll also need a flush kit and the flush chemical.
The vacuum pump and gauge set MAY be available on a loan-a-tool, the flush kit certainly is at Advance and Auto Zone. If not, Harbor Freight has a perfectly servicable set of both gauge set and vacuum pump (hint: For a single car, you don't need the big pump, just let the little one run longer.)
The refrigerant - ideally, you'll weigh the charge going in. That's a bit hard to do on the small cans, but I doubt you can possibly justify a 30 pound canister of R134a (like I could with the *counts* six or seven cars I help maintain in the family ... )
Anyway ... Didn't want to hurt you worse, but that's what you'll need to look at.
I'd HIGHLY consider a new serpentine belt at the same time, but I'm all too familiar with what happens when you ignore Mrs. Case's son, Justin. Their uncle Murphy tends to light and stay a bit ...
