Little power with the AC on - 740 700

When the AC compressor cycles on&off I can feel it while driving. The car has enough accelleration without the AC on, but I find merging difficult with the AC on. Is this the usual case? Is there anything that I can do? The AC compressor is origional. The AC isn't that cold. I think that some refrigerant may have leaked out over the winter. It has been converted to the new type (134a?). 200K 1986 745 with Manual M46 trasnsmission.

Thanks,
