A/C Problem with 92 Firebird

I have a 92 Firebird (base). The A/C system comes on, but it will cool for a while and then it will only blow air. Sometimes it will work all the time. Kinda crazy.

Anyone have an idea of what might cause this? Thanks

My first guess would be your refrigerant is low. Take it to a shop and have them vacuum test it, and recharge it as necessary. If the car still has the original R12 refrigerant in it, it can be pricey.

Thanks for the input. It does have the original refrigerant, so I probably just need to buy a conversion kit and be done with it then.
