I would first determine if the compressor is still good, easy enough to do.
At the very least, replace all the refrigerant lines, they're just not that expensive, you get new shrader connections, and they come with O-rings. Also, get a new orifice, red or green both work.
There's a good chance most of the oil from the compressor is in the accumulator and the compressor sump small as it is, may be dry. the squealing you heard may have been the clutch, belt, or both on the compressor.
The only thing I did not replace on my truck was the compressor.
