first thing I'd do is change the expansion valve, (you don't have an orifice tube) and pull the condenser, and clean it REALLY REALLY well and remove any dings it's got. (be careful removing the coil, the lines are likely rusted, and will require heat/penetrant to free) you will also need a new reciever, but DO NOT INSTALL IT! it is the LAST thing to go in before you are ready to evacuate and charge the system.
you might as well flush the lines, and coils so you have a clean system, and install fresh mineral oil in them.
