Sounds like you've got work.

R4 compressor rebuilds are not reliable ussually. They are cheap(aka $79). You can order a new one through Autozone.
If the hoses are not leaking, you can reuse them. All oil needs to be removed. The oil used in 134a systems attracts moisture, very badly.
Then naturally, accumulator and expansion valve. Shrader valves and all o-rings. Replace any obviously leaking or old hoses. High pressure hoses are cheap. Low pressure and manifold hoses can be rebuilt. You'll probably want to relay the a/c fan to run when the compressor is on. Also, the fans do fail-make sure yours spins easily. You'll spend $350-600.
