a/c compressor kicks on and off

ive been reading on here for about 30 minutes and i think i know whats wrong but want to verify before i do anything. i just bought a 1993 z28 and the air conditioning doesnt work. i turned it on and popped the hood and the compressor is kicking on for about 2 seconds then back off repetitively. does that mean that its low on refrigerant. or something else wrong

Generally, low on freon..... Put in a can of R134a with dye to see if there is a leak...
