There's nothing particularly difficult. There are some EPA issues (releasing the gas and not capturing and recycling it) that we'll ignore for the sake of arguement. You have to pump the system down once you have the new compressor installed. You do this to remove all non-compressables (moisture) because as much as a drop of water can screw the system up. The only way to do this is with a vacuum pump. It's also wise to flush the system since a compressor that's coming appart will put debris into the system.
If you are not very familiar with servicing mobil A/C, you may want to consider leaving this to a pro. It may cost more initially, but it often saves money in the end.
