    If it was just the compressor that died you don't need to replace the condensor or the accumulator.

    Alot of places and parts store do recommend that when you replace one major part that its wise to do the the other 1-2, just so that everything is new.

    If you know that just your compressor stopped working and you know that everything else is in good condition, just do the one part and get the system recharged.

    Most compressors are shipped without oil too.You may need to pick up two 12 ounce bottles of pag 150.Think with an empty system it holds like 16 ounces or somethin.
