    When you do replace it, it's going to be more than just that.
    When the compressor goes, it throws crap through the entire system.
    The evaporator (under the dash) can be flushed, as can the hoses, but the accumulator will have to be replaced.
    Modern parallel-flow condensors are extremely difficult to completely flush... it's usually safest to replace it as well.
