You should evacuate the A/C system using a machine here is a guide.

This guide will give you an idea of what you are in for when doing the job.

With the comp removed ensure that the open pipes are plugged as moisture in the air should not be allowed into the system, ensure that the replacement compressor has the correct amount of oil added as required.

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers
