A/C hoses blew

So i had a hose break on the air condition system. It appears to be down by the compressor. The real problem is when i go to RockAuto.com or ebay, i find several different part numbers for that line that all say they fit my f-150, how do i determine witch ones i need? I am going to replace the two that go to the compressor as thats where the leak is. i also wanted to change the liquid line and the dryer while im in there but they also show multiple numbers for that line as well, dryer they only show one so im good there.

Also do you think i ruined the compressor running it with a leak? it probly took me ten minutes to realize what was happening and shut it down. I have disconnected the clutch wire on the compressor to make sure it doesnt run in the mean time.

Anything else i should know? I'm pretty new to HVAC so any advice would be appreciated.

2001 5.4 manual climate control, incase anyone was wondering

The compressor will shut itself off if the system pressure is too low

you will need to put more oil in the system, probably 2oz.
