2001 2.5l Single cab fuel pump replacement questions

Re: AC Compressor won't stay engaged [video]
This is not what I want to hear!! I was so pleased when it started right up. I think the truck is in good shape now, but I bought it for $500 and sinking $300 plus perhaps more like you said into it...

Any idea how I disconnect the fuel pump relay? Do I just unplug the fuse for it in the power distribution box?
Never mind, just unplugging the fuse is fine.

Wouldn't a compression issue cause a rough idle? Or not necessarily?
On the 2.5l is it necessary to check the driver side plugs for a compression test or is the passenger side good enough? Thanks!
