The compressor can be replaced by itself but without changing the reciever drier, orifice tube, flushing the system the compressor may not last very long and likely will not be under any warranty. A/C work is expensive work to do.

A rebuilt compressor is about $240 and $150 install. You always get a rebuilt. Fixing the old one would cost more and you'd still have a worn out compressor.

Get estimates from several places before you decide, including a Ford Dealer.

It has probably blown itself apart from the inside. You'll have to replace it, the drier, the orifice tube (if it has one), and then flush it out, and recharge.
