Put it all back in, like RJ said with new orings. it will definitely be r134a. Get a shop to recharge it after pulling a vacuum on it (they will know o do that)
Make sure you lube the orings with compressor oil before you install them, otherwise they'll leak. I'd recommend asking the shop to add dye when you take ti to get it recharged. It will save you a ton of trouble down the road.
There is a pressure switch to turn the compressor on, but it works the opposite steve, if its low on freon, it will stay engaged trying to build pressure.
The problem with leaving them unsealed is that moisture builds up inside components. Thats bad. A 15-20 minute vacuum should boil out all moisture.
