Hello,
     I would say the most economical way to get an A/C compressor is to get one from a junk yard. Most of the time they will have a 30 day warrenty on them so if they are locked up you can exchange them. you need to make sure you retro-fit your a/c to R134a. If you do that you may be able to get away with spending less than a hundred bucks.A can of R134a is about 10 bucks a can and you will probably need three. Let me know where you live and maybe I could help more. Good luck.
