Replacing compressor procedure?

I am replacing compressor because it had a leak. What are the procedures for installing compressor? Do I need to change the accumulator and the o-tube? The system worked fine before the leak.

the proper way is to recover the refrigerant into a a/c machine, than i would recommend changing the orifice tube, compressor, and accumulator. after you get it all bolted back up pull a vacuum test make sure you have no leaks. recharge your system and your good to go.
