Default 1999 Sc300 AC dead?

Hey guys. So I went to use my Ac a couple weeks ago and I noticed the AC button was blinking. I also noticed that just warm air was coming out. I bought one of those ac recharge pro bottles and gave it a try. On the gauge it comes with it reads to take it to a technician when I tried recharging the system.. The cars 20 years old and I'm thinking it probably needs a new compressor. I had a pro recharge it a couple years ago and I noticed last year it wasn't blowing very cold. Should I replace the compressor? Need some advice on this. Thanks

see if you can spin the compressor clutch by hand you should be able to with the engine off. then have a friend hit the button while you watch(hands out of bay engine on) and see if the clutch engages (sticks itself to the pulley) it should.. Its probably a compressor.
