I would also have a qualified tech recharge your system after you install the compressor.
Remember: Do not turn the A/C on without getting it recharged or you can burn up the bearings.(leave the pigtail unplugged at the compressor to be "idiot" proof.
i say have a qualified tech because they have the machine that dumps the right amount of r-134a with the EXACT amount of oil needed in proportion the the coolant. Those do-it-yourself cans will get you close enough to operate, but it will not be beneficial in the long run as it would be much less reliable and could burn-up a compressor or not cool properly.
I wouldn't worry about going through replacing seals unless it's a piece that you take apart in the process. Otherwise, leave be.
