Glad to hear it. The water vapor actualy turns to acid when its mixed with R12. Thats what causes the corrision. Water vapor can also freeze causing blockage in the system. The vacuum needed to reduce the boiling point of watter is dependant on you altitude. After replacing the compressor you will need to replace the receiver/dryier and vacuum the system for 2 hours after you reach the max vacuum.
When the compressor goes it often sheds little peices of itself into the system. I have been told that some compressor waranties are not valid if the receiver/dryier is not replaced. I would also flush the condensor and evaporator and clean the expansion valve.
On my 81 924 the proper charge is 7.75 oz of oil and 28 oz of R12.
