Looking for a cheap fix for my ac.

Just sunk a bit of cash in to get it on the road and the ac compressor died after an hour of supplying me with nice cold air. I was doing about an hour of hwy driving, stopped at the store for 10 minutes. All of a sudden, nothing -no cold air.

There is power to the compressor so i figure it's definitely fried unless anyone else can suggest what I might check....

If it's the compressor, id like to go take my chances and get one from the wrecker, at least for this year. Anyone know if there's any newer vehicles' compressor that'll fit in an 02, 2 litre ? I'm not really interested in changing pulley and belt sizes -just don't have the time.

I have a mechanic friend who will charge me minimal $ to evacuate and refill the freon.

Hopefully someone has a quick answer....
Thanks for your help!
