Air Conditioning question 200

My '86 240 wagon is not going to be of much use this summer if I can't get the air-conditioning working again. I've replaced the compressor in the past, then a couple of hoses when they started leaking due to wear (on the power steering belt, as I recall) but this time I'm stymied.

The last time it was charged, last year, the charge leaked out and the tech told me the leak was in the passenger compartment, so I'm guessing I need to replace the condenser. It was late summer/fall and there was no urgency to fix something on a car that might not make it 'til spring, but my misgivings were unfounded, the brick still ticks, and I now find myself facing an Iowa summer with no air but the open windows.

Has anyone faced and conquered this problem and can I get some advice as to what it's going to take to do the job?

thanks for the help
