Default A/C compressor siezed, destroyed serpentine belt, overheated engine

Yesterday a 16,175 miles my 4 cyl ATS coupe A/C compressor seized, in the process it destroyed the serpentine belt and then the engine overheated.
How many other components with the dealer have to replace? I am thinking just the compressor if it did not send debris throughout the system.

It depends on what failed. Pulley locked up compressor and belt. Internal failure compressor, condenser hose, belt, possibly suction screen. Overheating maybe larger concern.
