A/C compressors have ceramic seals that are allowed to leak about 4 oz. per year. It is unavoidable. More than that, you may have a leak somewhere else. Cars these days have large accumulators. First thing you do is put a can of R134a with dye in the system to see if the low pressure switch comes back on and the compressor starts. Look for a leak. Check spec. Vans with two evaperators (rear A/C) will take more than one can.

Is it safe to run a car without freon if you don't use the ac?
Freon? R12? Good luck finding it (Ebay?) AC systems in newer cars are R134a. You can RETROFIT an older vehicle to run R134a. You can run a car without freon/r134a - The AC has nothing to do with the vehicle performance...just human comfort. Don't expect cold air, there's nothing to produce the cold air without the Freon/134a. That's like asking if it's okay to wear shoes without socks. The shoes still work but your feet will stink and sweat and chick won't ask for you phone number.
