I would think that if your AC system was open for two years it would have the "black death" throughout. A first class AC shop might be able to fix it by first flushing the system with a large amount of flushing solvent. Shops that can do this are rare, and more often found in truck stop repair facilities.
Your problem might be the pressure sensor, or a clog anywhere in the system. Your mechanic may be correct about the compressor, but if the compressor failed and shot pieces through the system replacing it will result in early failure.
