The two basic ways are: 1. charge the system with refrigerant containing a tracer dye, then use an ultraviolet lamp to find the dye at the leak point. 2. use an electronic leak detector, commonly called a 'sniffer' to find the leak. Pressures in an air conditioner can be dangerous. Working on the system requires specialized knowledge. Get some help from an experienced refrigeration tech.

How do you fix the air conditioner on a 1977 camaro?

It depends on what is wrong with it. It probably has a freon leak. Add some freon, and listen for a leak. Always charge the system through the low side of the system. If you don't hear a leak, then add the required capacity, and the unit will last through the summer, if there is not a component failure. The best way to check the system is with air conditioner pressure gauges.
