Could be anything from the clutch, compressor, metering device or out of juice.

Leaks should be repaired before re-charging.

A charging manifold or gauge set is what you are looking for. Probably R-134a refrigerant.
This. Your problem could be just about anything. You will need to diagnose the problem. One day my El Camino AC just stopped blowing cold. I opend the hood and the connection to the compressor had come off enough to not make a good connection. Push it back on, and ice cold air again.

It is much like the endless posts in the tech site of "My car will not start" and it can be a myriad of different causes.
