Actually there is a S/B 05-020 issued by honda that only says to add oil install valves and recharge.
The honda part number is
38020-Sm4-A1AH
So to answer the question i think, the compressor does not need to be replaced in order to do a retrofit.
So my suggestion is go to the dealer with the part number , buy the kit and give it to the shop and tell them to read the instructions in side and do it!!!
I think the kit is pretty cheap too. Maybe under 100 bucks

About 30 for the ID kit, I'd have someone vac it and check for integrity, then shoot it yourself. It's pretty foolproof. But you still have a chance that the comp will unload if it hasn't worked in a while (like several years) If it's just been since last season or whatever, it should be OK.
