Default Cooling fans/Ac?

I just happened to crank on the AC on my 2000 V6 yesterday and the air coming out was not really cool. After getting home and running the car in the garage the fan on the right side came on after heating up a little while the one on the left (driver's side) was not operating. From what I looked up this is considered the engine cooling fan while the right side one is considered the condenser fan. I checked voltages and the wires are OK so evidently the engine cooling fan is not operating. Would it be the lack of cooling from this fan that would be affecting my AC temps? I will definitely be replacing the fan asap but just need to know if I have more problems on the horizon. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

A missing fan would change proper cooling at the condenser. Once you get the fan replaced, reevaluate the performance at the vents.

Just don't add R-134a to the system blindly. A/C work takes some diagnosis to determine what needs repaired. So fix the obvious (fan motor) first.
