You may have to take it somewhere to have the AC system drained, evacutated, and recharged.

[Thank you for your response. Do I need to have that done before I change the compressor?

You might be able to ask them is they will discharge your system then refill it after you replace the compressor but I doubt they will do that. If you know them well, ask them. But yes, please let someone discharge it correctly.
