Default Should I change my A/C condensor?

My a/c compressor seized. I bought a good used compressor to put on. I also bought oil, a dryer, o-rings, R 134 freon. Should I change the compressor? I'm not sure if the old one sent metal particals into the system. I will be flushing the system too.

Thank you.

Condenser doesn't have any moving parts. If it doesn't leak it doesn't need to be changed.

Flush it thoroughly with denatured alcohol and air or a/c flush and air.

I just noticed you said you got a used compressor. Bad idea. They are junk brand new.
