A leak is the only way to loose volume of the freon charge. Freon is in a sealed system and it does not get used up. If your system is tight the freon will last forever.

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.

The best way to check the system is with air conditioner pressure gauges.

Freon (R-12) is way too expensive as it is no longer in production. Have it converted to use R-134a.

It is illegal to add refrigerant to a system with a leak without first repairing the leak.
