Default AC Problems

So, my fan had been blowing just fine in my camaro. Heater works, but AC doesn't. My AC compressor is fine and the clutch is engaging (only if I hotwire it), and I just had the lines replaced, along with every o-ring and what not. It was obviously a leak because the refrigerant wouldn't stay in for more than 24 hours. So now that that's fixed, after about 48 hours, 12oz of refrigerant is gone. What else could be the problem? Any ideas? This car is black exterior and interior, and has t-tops with no covers, so as you can imagine, it gets uncomfortably hot. I'm desperate.

Are you sure the compressor is fine? It could be leaking out of the front seal.

Ran some dye through it, and no signs of a leak after new o-rings were put on. That would show with a dye test, right?
