No worries, i had gloves on.
To get proper frost bite try an LPG car that has a faulty filler valve, my hands have stuck to the filler nozzle a few times when putting gas into my dads car.

around 30mins, alowing for time taking aux belt off,
its not a big job.
if its a D.i.y job you must have the system emptied first for you own safety,

If it is the compressor that does need changed, is ones in scrapyards any good, or can they be reconditioned. New ones seem a bit pricey.
