Welcome to Allpar. Is this a R-134a or an R-1234yf refrigerant system? There should be an underhood label stating which one. R-134a service is conventional, R-1234yf is not.
The drier is integral and serviced with the condenser.
Did the compressor fail and send debris into the discharge line? If so, you will want to replace the line and condenser.
Has the system been empty or open awhile? If not, I would use the old drier, just draw and hold a vacuum for a few hours.
DESCRIPTION
The A/C condenser is located in the front of the engine compartment behind the front fascia. The A/C condenser is a heat exchanger that allows the high-pressure refrigerant gas being discharged by the A/C compressor to give up its heat to the air passing over the condenser fins (2), which causes the refrigerant to cool and change to a liquid state.
The A/C condenser is equipped with tapping blocks for the A/C refrigerant lines (1). The A/C condenser has an integral A/C receiver/drier (3).
