    well you can just take to a shop and they fill it it up and check to leaks.
    or you could take the belt out and free up some HP.

    No, your A/C won't work without the belt. You'll hardly save any power by pulling off the belt. Without the A/C on, it pulls practically no power from your engine. If you decide not to fix it you can remove the whole system from your car. You'd be more likely to notice the performance of your lighter car than a fraction of an HP that you'd get from removing the belt and leaving the system intact. Of course if you want to make it work again you really do need to take it to a shop to figure out where the system is leaking since R12 is so expensive.

    Also, I disagree with Accord EX. The PS system isn't so bad to fix. The A/C is a bitch though. At least you can see where the PS leak is. Freon just disappears.

    You won't find the leak by just looking for it. Freon evaporates as soon as it leaves the system. You need a leak detector or to take it to a shop.
