Every system I have either resurrected from the dead or known of someone else doing the same, usually regrets not replacing the compressor at least
I think you may have been better off and $$ ahead just putting in a red dot. Since we're past labor day, I'd like to think we are out of the hot weather, but who knows.
I totally rebuilt a factory a/c system last year, and it didn't work right either. I should have just gone aftermarket and been done with it.
