Other than having to replace the a/c compressor itself what else do I need to replace at the same time. I plan to use a known good used ac compressor that I have on hand. Thanks

It's probably not the compressor, most likely the clutch pulley. Might be worth to double check

After you replace the compressor (if need be). Just take it to a shop to have it filled with oil and refrigerant. Ive changed more than a few with new compressors (nvr on a ford tho) and filled with oil as per directions then r31a and had failure. Ive filled with the pre mix **** and had failure. Unless your an AC guru id just have a AC place do the filling.
Im no mechanic but thats been my experience.
