If it is too low on coolant the ac compressor will not engage. It is a safety feature to keep from burning it up. Try to add freon and as the pressure builds the compressor should kick on. If you are sure you have adequate coolant; it could be anything from electrical to a frozen compressor.

must have air in the cooling system
behind the passenger side kick panel
air conditorner doesnt blow cold air has freeon compressor doesnt kick on
check your fuses for both problems.
check the belts
There shouldn't be any danger of running without the air conditioner freon in it. Except for when it is really hot outside and you are sweating like crazy. (Just kidding)
You wont be happy if you do.
One kicks on for normal cooling, they both kick on when the air conditioner is turned on.
