AC compressor testing???
OK so going thru all of the BS I went thru to get my ac working I have a brand new compressor that was on my car for a short time that i believe to be good but....
This compressor is off the car and I am looking for a way to test it to make sure it is good before i try to sell it. Does anyone know how i can accomplish this task?

You should be able to apply power to the clutch to energize it and see if it engages properly. Not sure how you could test if compressor is building proper pressures when off the car.

Checking pressure for leaks is what I am looking for. Wondering if there are any type of shops that could do this/

I think you are overestimating the value of a previously installed AC compressor if you are wanting to pay a shop to test it before you put it up for sale.
I bought a brand new, customer return, AC Delco compressor for $67.35 off Amazon. How much is a shop going to charge you just to check yours out on the bench?
Your best bet may be to sell it with a promise to buyer that it is good or money back.
