Sounds like you need a good manual. You’ll also need to get any remaining Freon evacuated from the system before removing any refrigerant lines.

I have vw manual but cuz of freon issue it does not explain the removal installation procedures. Do you know where I could purchase this information from?

Start off by buying a lot AC service equipment. And if you don’t know what this entails. STOP!

If you install a new compressor on a system where the old compressor failed, you’ll probably take out the new compressor.

This is not a DIY job. If you have to ask at all then you really can’t do it. But even if you did have the knowledge to do it then you still need the equipment.
