Re: ac compressor locked up
If compressor is seized, it is possible that the system is still charged, and yes, would require proper recovery of the R12 at a shop.
Once that's recovered, it's not a terrible job to swap the compressor; but the plenum must be removed, and the alternator must be unbolted to allow for access to the compressor mounting bolts.

There is some A/C help on this page. I did the swap over to R134 about 11yrs ago. http://www.zr1netregistry.com/ZR1_howto.htm
