Default A/C compressor replacement

Hello,

I actually have a 2000 chevy prizm, but it is identical to a toyota corolla. I need to replace my AC compresser, receiver, and drier. The shop I go to quoted $900 so I thought I'd give it a try.

Is this the basic procedure: Relieve the pressure out of the system, R/R the parts, pull a vacuum on the system and then back fill with R134? What about flushing the system..?.I've heard your supposed to do that, what do you flush it out with and how? Is the lubricating oil in the R134 or do you add it separately? I have the usual tools plus a vacuum pump and recharging kit. Do I need any other special tools?Any comments and or recommendations for repair manuals are appreciated.

thanks in advance,
Sam
