Default 1979 A/C reinstall

It's seem that i'm on a "matching number fever"

I have remove my a/c compressor and my condenser (H & B on picture)



So if i want a/c again i need:
buy new A/C compressor hose (pic A)
buy new drier (pic C)
reinstall a/c compressor (ca i rebuild it for new gaz?)
reinstall condenser

Ps: anyone has tip (thread sealent,....) or a manual how to install a/c because in France only profissonal made this ans it' will kill my wallet.

Ps2: i m definitly not on the good side of ocean
