Cover gasket is pocket change and all of 40 min work at worst including cleaning the goo off your hands.
Really depends with 'ac dun werk'
Chances are the fucking thing just needs regassing and there's like dozens of alternative-OEM compressor manufacturers out there that its just a matter of finding one with the cheapest shipping most of the time. Chuck it in, 2hr tops, change the belts, go get a dude to gas it up and check for leaks.
Anyone that can't manage that will also have been the same kind of degenerate that never changes oil, diff or transmission fluids either
