Default Air Condition Problems on '20 Z06

Ok.. I'm a little frustrated. My 02 Z06 has 21,000 miles on it. Now that its starting to get warm I decide to turn on the A/C. Last week while driving the A/C just decided to turn off (meaning the light on the A/C controller went off and cold air stopped coming out). After trying to turn it back on it would immediately turn back off. SO, I decide to check the refridgerant level / pressure. It was slightly low so I decided to add a little. It worked fine for a little while today. But after stopping for a short period of time, I started my car back up and heard this loud shuttering coming from under the hood. I look down and I see my A/C is on (which it wasnt when I parked there 20 minutes prior). When I give the car a little gas I heard the shuttering get really loud, then I heard was sounded like a plastic door shut. Then the noise went away. But at the same time, the light on my dash went out again on the A/C switch. Now the damn thing wont come on at all!!!

Anyone have any ideas what I have gotten myself into? Is this going to make me mad enough to sell it?

Anyone with any ideas or input?

Thanks in advance.

PS, the car drives fine now and had not issues (other than not having A/C now).
