Sounds like a good choice. I think the evaporators in 123 cars are much more
robust than the 124 cars? Condenser is easy to change if needed. New hoses
would probably be a good idea with the new compressor, don't forget that a new
receiver / drier is a must once the system has been open.

Kevin, to pressure test the remaining AC components, you would need to
fabricate a manifold of some kind to make a seal at the open connections. It
would probably be easier to install a compressor and whatever else is missing,
and then test the system. Not a cheap proposition either way.
My 82 has crank (Armstrong) windows and a solid steel roof with no leaky hole
