Not a DIY job. Specialized tools are required.
If I change the AC compressor in a car, do I have to change the orifice?

No you don't have to change the A/C Compressor.
Its a bit of a job, but in order to do it correctly, you need to remove the alternator and water pump and then you will have clear working area to remove and install the A/C compressor.
The ac compressor clutch is mounted on the front of the compressor and is a replaceable part. However depending on the complexity of the clutch change out it may be overall better to change the compressor and clutch together.

An AC compressor is part of an air conditioner which may be used in a car's AC system. The compressor is used to change the pressure between the AC's compartments in order to help condense the refrigerant gas back into a liquid.
To fix the AC compressor on a 1990 Mazda Miata, first, disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the compressor. Check for leaks and test the electrical connections; if the compressor is faulty, it may need to be replaced. Remove the old compressor by detaching the refrigerant lines and mounting bolts, then install the new compressor, reconnect the lines, and recharge the AC system with refrigerant. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the AC system for proper operation.
PAG, the same as any other R134a air conditioning system.
To change the AC compressor on a 2001 Lincoln Navigator, first, disconnect the battery and recover the refrigerant from the AC system using a recovery machine. Next, remove the serpentine belt and disconnect the electrical connectors from the compressor. Unbolt the compressor from its mounting bracket, remove the suction and discharge lines, then install the new compressor by reversing the steps. Finally, recharge the AC system with refrigerant and check for leaks.
