Ok, the aftermath, and a question...
Compressor was a lot of work, figuring out which bolts were better from the top/bottom/finding the right extensions. And a took a while to get it out, keep getting hung up, then it just came right out. New one went right back in. The green o-rings that came with the delco accumulator were skinnier and a little bigger, so I re-used the old ones. I didn't end up changing the tube, was a long day. Decided since the oil came out of the old compressor was clean, and we cut open the old accumulator and it was clean, the bags of moisture absorber were intact. Sound like an ok call?
The big question ... was using manifold gauges to charge it back up, first can went in fine - could see it in the inspection glass. Second can, nothing. Can seemed to be fine, tried another using just the charge hose connected directly to the low port, nothing. Tried using the blue line, nothing. The only thing I couldn't really change was the quick connector to the fill port. Thinking of getting another can and using a cheap included hose. Checking pressure will make sure I don't overfill? I assume only one can made it in. AC was working fine, was a little cooler on the pass side, but I think that's normal when you have a low charge - probably only has 12oz. Any thoughts?
