Default AC help

Ok i cant take it anymore. My AC compressor is shot, i thought i would tough it out but its getting too hot for leather interior. Can anyone suggest a cheap alternative. Maybe a rebuilt compressor. New ones i have heard are like 600 installed, which i cant afford. This is my daily so i cant even park it till it cools down. Fall tuition is coming up, i have absolutely no extra cash.

Compressor is easy to install, do that and the least change the dryer as well. Then take it to a shop, have them do the vacuum and add charge. If nothing else is bad, it should take care of it. It worked on my TA till the evap core went out.
