The most common is low refrigerant. It can also be caused by other electrical problems as well, check he fuses.
low freon, bad pressure switch, bad compressor clutch.
Some early model Sunfires have a dipstick. In my '96, the dipstick is located near the firewall, down and inboard from the brake fluid reservoir.

lay on your back and look up at the compressor in the right front section of the engine compartment, it is a fitting on the larger hose coming off of the compressor.
A lot of cars won't let the compressor kick on unless it has enough refridgerant. Try recharging the compressor all the way and if it still don't work, you might need a new compressor.
well you can change the entire rear hatch with that of a trans am's but I dont think it would be worth the the money to convert the car into a trans am style car.

Remove belt. There are three nuts on the belt side of the compressor left right and one on the bottom. Remove cover on bottom of car, it is plastic and secured with small lag screws. This allows access to the compressor and the rear compressor bolt. One bolt holds both A/C lines to the compressor. Be careful this is under pressure. The a/c system should be evacuated by a professional prior to removal of the compressor.
