If your comp has failed and contaminated the system, you will need to flush/clean- otherwise you will kill the new comp in short order.

The weight is simple actually, you use small cans of freon to get as close to the weight as possible, then just a bit more from another can until the Hi and Low gauges are reading properly.
Compressor actually didn't fail, it is noisy from the clutch/bearing as I was able to confirm yesterday. So no issue with contamination. To keep it from failing at this point until I replace it, I cut off the A/C belt and the engine is silent once again.
Sean, thanks for the video, I'll be sure to take a look.
