It depends. If the system is low on refrigerant then the compressor will not run until there is enough refrigerant to satisfy the low pressure switch. As you add refrigerant the compressor will cycle until enough is in the system to keep the compressor running continuously. A 1lb. can of R-134a costs about $6.00. It's worth a try. Might be enough to keep you running all summer depending on the size of your leak.

The 2001 Chevrolet Impala low side service port can be found on the top of the air conditioner compressor. The port will be labeled as the low pressure port.
if the compressor dont come on when you turn on the a/c then your compressor could be bad, also there is a relay in the fuse panel for the a/c compressor is it has gone out then that could cause it if your compressor comes on then you might need to recharge your system
Larger hose from the compressor maybe near the drier at the passenger side firewall
