What could/should be done to service a compressor - either in situ or a spare off the car?  I am about to replace the condenser and receiver, probably with the following and didn’t want to leave it out.

You should drain any oil from the old condensor and dryer and place an equivalent volume of new oil in the new dryer.
Not much to do on the compressor except to check the pulley and shaft bearings for roughness and check that the clutch is free to turn (can rust on the friction surface if not used for some time)
