Before replacing the compressor, you must break all a/c connections and THOROUGHLY flush all debris out of the system. When a compressor fails in this way it strews debris all through the system. If left in place, it will destroy the new compressor. Replacing the filter drier will not catch much of this stuff because it is between the condensor and evaporator. There will be plenty of stuff that the filter drier won't catch.
You also can get an aftermarket suction side filter to put in the line just before the compressor to help catch this compressor destroying junk.
Good luck,
