Probably not.

With the compressor gone the system has been left open for an unknown ammount of time. Chances are there is significant contamination in the A/C componants, plus it is unlikely that the system was upgraded to take R-134.

On my truck it was $1,500 to redo and upgrade the A/C.
A strong word to the wise, DO NOT get a remanufactured R4 "pancake" compressor. They are total junk and likely won't last a year. Mine certainly didn't, so be sure they put a brand new compressor in.
