These compressors usually take out the pulley bearing when they seize, which means unplugging the compressor won't do any good.
The correct fix is to replace the compressor & other required parts with new parts. NEVER buy a reman compressor for this model Ford. They're junk.
The cheap fix is to have a qualified shop recover any remaining refrigerant from the system. You can then replace the compressor with a junkyard unit. The a/c won't work, but at least you can install the belt & she can drive the car.
