That is one job you don't want to revisit or skimp on parts. A factory new Motorcraft compressor from Rock Auto is about $300. I would spend it.
If you are doing the job yourself remember to swap in the mount hole guide sleeves to the new compressor. Most don't come with them and you need them to ensure the compressor is mounted square with the block so the belt lines up squarely.
