Default AC Repair / Replace

A while back I had my AC compressor lock up on me, and given that it was fairly cold and the car was going to be down for a while anyways, I just had the system purged and removed the AC lines and the belt from that pulley with a shorter one to bypass it. Question I have now is, assuming metal shavings did get into the system, what am I looking at in regards to what I have to replace?

Pretty much almost every part of the ac system, you can prob clear the lines out but if the evaporator or receiver dryer is contaminated it needs to be replaced, ac compressor would need to be replaced too

Already have a new condenser and compressor, I'm going to be getting new lines made such that I can tuck them. I've purchased a new evaporator, dryer, and expansion valve from a part out. Anything else you can think of?
