So here's an update for everyone:
Got the compressor out, inspected the pag oil, no metal shards whatsoever, nice!! Changed the compressor, and accidentally overcharged the AC ( I can tell bc it's ice cold on rural roads but the highway it kicks on and off so there's too much pressure)
Gonna try and go without ac until I get home and then I'll recollect the Freon and bring it down to a normal pressure. I know there's still a slight leak somewhere because it couldn't hold a -30 psi vacuum, so I'm going to let it go a couple days and then look at it with a UV light because the new pag oil has dye in it, and once I find the leak I'll collect all the Freon, filter it, fix the leak, change the drier, make a new vacuum to verify then refill with my recollected Freon.
