AC complete rebuild strategy ? (long) (89 900S)

Greetings from hot and wet New England.
My 89 900S is in need of a complete AC rebuild - hoses are leaking, and a botched conversion to the "new" freon probably accelerated the demise of the compressor. The whole system is 14 years old now, and hasn't worked all that well - ever.
1. Is most of a rebuild job just mechanically replacing the parts (which I can do)? I would have final checks done by someone else.
2. Are rebuilt compressors worth the risk (time and money)?
3. If I want to stick with the "new" freon, what changes need to be made to the system to ensure it's complete success "for years to come" ?
Thanks for your time!
