Your AC compressor has an electric clutch on it.  If
you turn the pulley now, it should turn freely because
it is not engaged.  If you energize the clutch, by
adding 12volts of power to the wire coming from the
clutch, and you can turn over the compressor, you can
feel it pump like an air compressor.  If the pump
turns over, and the system has been sealed, than you
should be ok to go.  If the AC does go out, just turn
it off and the clutch will turn freely.  However,
there is a bearing in the clutch that can go bad,  if
you put the belt on it, you?ll hear it if it is bad. 
Also, I would advice having the system vacuum down
before adding any freon to the system.
Hope this helps.
