some things you can check easily yourself..

make sure the condensor (in front of rad) is clean with straight fins.
make sure the fans run properly when AC is on (I believe they should be on HIGH for your car)
make sure the belt isnt slipping (you would probably know, its noisy when they do)

things to have a shop look at (if you dont have the equipment)

Pressure tests of the system (both high and low side). These readings tell wonders about the condition of the system.

one thing to remember about AC systems..

they are TOTALLY sealed systems. if it needs a recharge, it has a leak somewhere.

it may be as simple as some dried out o-rings (fairly cheap fix), or much more expensive, depending on what is leaking.

the thing to remember is that there are AC systems from the 60's and 70's that are still working, fully charged, and never have been recharged.
