To determine the needed amps you'll need to add up the amp draw of the appliances that will be in use at the same time.
Start with the lighting, heating, and air compressor. Those are the main amp draw items. The others are intermittent, not likely to all be in use at the same time, so add about 35 amps or so to cover them. Anything else that might be added later, just use the same guide lines, if it's a continuous draw, add the full value, if it's intermittent the 35 amps added earlier will cover it. Then add about 20% just to be safe.
Next do the same with the existing house load. Either add the load, or turn on the lights, range, heat or AC, etc., check the amps with an amprobe, add the 20%.
Then add the 2 results together. If the number is around 180 or more, you'll need to go with another service, IF the electric company will let you. They may require you to up your existing service, depends on their policy.
