A/C blowing warm air?

I have a 90 Teg and the A/C is blowing warm air - is this only a matter of adding "Freon" (sp?) - any shops licenced to do this?

Freon isn't "used" by the a/c system. It is like coolant to the engine.
If freon is missing from the a/c system, there is a leak. Have it diagnosed. Is the compressor working? Or is there a leak?
Find out the reason behind the warm air, THEN fix the problem.

Adding freon, or the equivilent refrigerant, won't help if you don't know the problem.

I checked the compression last night and its at 0 psi - looks like its more than just a leak

Add dye to the system (around $30 and glows under black light), run it for a little while, then check for leaks.
Is the compressor running when you turn it on?
