A/C issues

I'm having/had a couple issues with the AC in my 92 Trans am and I'm no HVAC pro.

First the AC was blowing very cold and had a very noisy blower fan.
Then the AC started cutting out seemingly working at low loads or idle and the fan got worse.
Now the AC doesn't blow cold except maybe 2% of the time and the blower fan makes noise 99% of the time.

To me it sounds like the system is low on charge and I obviously need a new blower fan.

Is there anything I should check or any other cause of this? It seems I have a pretty bad leak when running the AC since it went from working great to not working in a month or two.

Any advice/help anybody can offer?

I also don't even know if this is the right section, but there's a couple AC threads in here ...

Re: A/C issues

Really need to throw some gauges on it and see whats going on. It most likely has a leak. I usually start with some soapy water in the squirt bottle and spray it on all the connections. I have seen a lot of them leak at the lines going into the back of the compressor.
