Default AC Compressor

I have a 2000 Trans Am WS6 that I'm putting back on the road after sitting for 7 years. Checked pressure in the AC system and it was at atmosphere, don't know how long it has sat in that condition.

I was searching for an AC Delco, Denso, Delphi AC compressor and not able to find one. Anyone know of a place to find one or another vehicle the compressor can interchange with?

I want to stay away from Chinese junk if possible.

I bought the below from Summit. I was kinda out of options as no one had what I wanted in stock. What I wanted was an oil prefilled compressor. My 2000 was still working at the time (2021) but was leaking oil badly. I chose to just replace the compressor since it was still sealed. Two years later its doing fine but hardly driven really.

If it's prefilled, is it as simple as replace bolt in?

I pulled the old leaky compressor off and put the new one on. Pulled a Vac on the system and filled it. Its been 2 years and its working great still. I am sure others would say I should have done more but the system was still sealed and working, and car has 54K on it. I wasn't going to deal with replacing other stuff. If it goes down then I will.
