Default Suggestions on ac failure.

The a/c failed on my 2011 f150 and I was planning on replacing both the compressor and the condenser because I was worried that debri might have clogged up the system. After pulling the compressor it looks like only the pulley failed (video below). Due to the way it failed I'm thinking maybe I don't need to worry about debri? After watching the video, do you think the compressor failed internally and shot debri and I should still replace the condenser or just compressor would be fine? I don't know much about the inner workings so I thought I'd get some opinions.

Does the center shaft turn easily? If so it might be ok. No way to know for certain until you replace the clutch assembly. And in the future when an ac compressor pukes it's guts, it winds up in the evaporator core if it makes it thru the txv. There should be a screen in it that blocks debris from traveling further.

Complete system flushing is then required.

Change the receiver/dryer as well. Anytime you open up the AC system to replace components, you should be doing this.
