IMHO, sell the car and move on. Too expensive to replace the A/C and too hot in the Southeast to be without. Don't use the A/C to limit the leakage and sell now while the A/C is cold.
I suppose an alternative to look into is a conversion to R134a which is much cheaper to recharge with - about $6 per lb.
Or you can go to college up north where A/C need is limited.
