This is not a job for the home fix-er-upper type. There are special tools required, and special training and Federal/EPA training and testing required for refrigerant recovering and recycling.
Assuming, then, that you had all of this covered, you would:
make the unit safe, disable and lockout the electrical power supply,
Pull the refrigerant out of the system and store for later recycling,
verify there is no pressure in the system, cut the pipes with a tube cutter leading to the compressor. Remove the power leads to the compressor.
Remove the compressor.
Mount the new compressor, Fit up new copper pipes and solder them in with a nitrogen purge and limited flux. Connect the power leads.
Put a deep vacuum on the system and check for leaks.
Charge the system with the correct number of pounds/ounces of refrigerant. Start the system and test run, checking the system pressures with guages to verify proper operation. Put all the panels back on, (with ALL the screws).

No the compressors in residential condensing units are called hermetic compressors and have to be rebuilt by cutting open the compressor shell, then rebuild the compressor and then weld the shell shut. Buy a new compressor or condensing unit.
Yes your compressor comes when you set your thermostat to "Fan" setting and you have it on cool setting.
Bad compressor
Up to 2 forced air units to one compressor unit.
no, unless u have to remove the compressor unit. The clutch can be replaced with out removing the compressor if you have room to do it.
take it to a mechanic
Identify and remove freon. Remove the failed compressor and transfer the brackets, sensors, manifolds and switches to the replacement unit. Clean components that are not being replaced. Replace the dryer or accumulator. Install the new compressor.
You will need to buy and install an ac bypass pulley from Napa or other parts store to bypass the ac compressor.You will need to buy and install an ac bypass pulley from Napa or other parts store to bypass the ac compressor.
I do not know of ac unit that are available for rent,so I do not know of any payment plans or who would install it.
The compressors that come with central Ac systems are hermetically sealed and have oil inside. There is no need to add oil. If you are replacing the compressor then flush the line set first then replace, also install a filter drier.
