Depends....do you like cold air? I'd get that compressor checked out ASAP before you use it again.

Like said above, just don't use your a/c until you get it fixed. Mine's been dead for almost a year and I haven't fixed it yet! Stupid a/c repairs are hella expensive!

I've got a spare compressor, but I'm in the UK...
