Depending on the actual damage the condenser coil may be repairable. 
The procedure for removing and replacing the coil is N:08:09-:10. It 
involves removing the radiater! Once you have the coil out take it to 
a large A/C shop that does a lot of automotive work. If they are 
knowledgeable enough they may be able to either repair the coil or 
send it out to a service that specializes in such repairs. You can 
also find companies yourself in Hemmings Motor News that repairs 
coils. If the leak is at one of the hose connections make sure that 
the threads are not stripped on the hose end. If they are you will 
have to replace the hose or have the end repaired. Snap-On has a kit 
for rethreading damaged hose ends so a large shop might be able to 
repair. You will probably need to go to a shop anyway to have the 
system evacuated, leak tested and recharged after you reinstall the 
condenser coil.
