Repair or replace A/C?

My Front A/C just stopped blowing cold last week. Is it worth taking it to a shop for diagnosis/repair or should I just replace it? It is 23 years old. I know I could R&R the a/c myself and I think spending money on diagnosis may just be wasting money. Your thoughts?

    Chassis or roof top A/C? If roof top would be easier to just replace it. Roof tops were sealed units, no easy way to test and add freon if needed.

    Not much chance of getting someone to repair it. $100/hour to test and then find that it is no good. You would be correct at replacing. Probably use less power and free up some for other uses.
