Tough to know what has killed what on your system. My 90 required replacement of all the hoses, as they leaked out the entire charge of freon at the swivel connections near the compressor. If your system is empty of freon then your compressor should not make ANY noises as it will not run due to safety sensors built into the system. Are you sure the clutch is coming in and out? If you are getting grumbling noises you may have other pulley problems.
FWIW, you must get a new filter/dryer ($45), suggest new Orings everywhere (all connections), and need to flush out all lines with the conversion flush by pouring in and blowing thru with compressed air. I did not have to replace any switches/sensors to get mine working. You also can buy the 134A conversion kit at Walmart for about $35. However you need a vacuum pump & gages to do this conversion correctly, so better take stock in your skills and available tools before diving in. The good old days of the $10 R12 kit to pour into the old beast are long gone.....
