Answer
At 170K miles on an 89 model you'll be looking to spend about $500.00 to replace the compressor and fill it back up minimal.  I personally wouldn't spend that kind of money on it.  I'd disable the belt for the compressor and keep the car for a cheap daily driver and just drive it in to the ground.  Sell it for scrap or donate it for a small tax right off.
