AC Compressor seized

Hello everybody!
Great evening here in Northern Virginia! My 1995 9000 Aero has decided to kick me square in the ding-ding again:
Pulled off the highway and had smoke coming from the pass. wheelwell. Pull into the next lot and pop the hood. The AC clutch was glowing orange and releasing lots of smoke. I put a fistfull of snow on it to cool and avoid fire.
Questions:
I need to replace the compressor, clutch, serp. belt and ???? Anybody have a competent list? I disconnected the clutch wire and drove a mile home - bad AC pulley/clutch bearing sounds.
Is this a DIY? I don't want to release the freon to atmosphere.
Since I will likely need to have this done perfessionally, how much am I looking at and does anyone have a place in DC/NVA/MD that they would recommend?? Eric H. - you interested?
Much, much thanks to all of you on this board.
-Chris Ludwig
