Default Replace AC lines in 03 SS

I have done some searching but I can not find this. Our friend has a 03 SS. It looks very much like the setup in my wife's 08 Grand Prix with a 3.8. Form working with her 3.8 I think they are about the same except for small changes.

Since I just had to replace the AC compressor on my 08 Subaru WRX our friend is asking if I can help fix her AC. He has been told she has a leak in one of her lines.

I looked at Autozone and I see the two hoses come in a single kit. Should I also replace the Accumulator? She has not had the AC working for about a year. JiffyLube recharged it about a year ago. The system worked for about a day till it ran back out of R134A.

Are there any others lines that I should replace?

Thanks for you help

Thanks. Do you know a good link on how to do that? I have having a hard time trying to find a DIY for the AC system. My Subaru was a lot easier to see how everything was routed.
