Have overhauled several A/C compressors and there was no black magic inside. If you are good with tools, and are very careful, see no reason why not to give it a try. After all, if things do not go well, bolt the pieces back together and use it for a core.
BTW, I would not "buy a reman" if this does not work. Get a new compressor as remans vary widely in quality and many of them puke shortly afterwards, and thus blowing all the expensive gas out of the system.
