    most of the time its just better to replace the whole compressor and the dryer, if you put a new compressor with out a new dryer the compressor will not have a long life.

    was it blowing cold? if so see if you can get a shop to vac out the system and then you go do your repairs, bring it back and they can use the same refrigerant they took out to charge the a/c. so you only pay for the vac service.

    I didn't notice any change in the air temp out of the vents.. ill be taking it to my soon to be father in laws shop tomorrow and have him test everything. I will be getting all the other items needed as well if I have to get a new compressor.. the squealing comes and goes. It will stay on untl I get up to about 15mph and won't come back on until I'm either at idle or sometimes not at all..
