when it rains it pours, need ac parts

30 year old r134 conversion blew all the oil and gas out the back of Sanden style compressor. Overpressure apparently. Need to find replacement parts. I'm using the original evaporator and condensor and have new hoses. might have been to hot/idling?
Compressor TAMA SAE- J639/488-45021
filter ?
What else might I need?

Worked pretty good although took a litlle while to get cold.

Looks like my AC triggered radiator fan wasn't comming on while idling. Guess I'll have to have it vacuumed and refilled. Wondering if the valve will reset.

I would add a binary switch. It will shut the compressor down when the pressure is too low (no refridgerant) or too high (high pressure due to heat, etc). I have put one on all my conversions. they can be a pain at times, but saves the system when something goes nuts.
