My 2000 neon AC compressor won't start. I have my doubts it's stuck. Will the AC compressor engage if the r134a is low?

If it were stuck, turning it on would result in loud noises and bad smells, because the belt would burn, burn, burn.
No.

Normally if the system is out of 134A, the compressor will not go on. This is somewhat a safety feature on cars.
No it won't, and if the R134 is low save youself a LOT of grief and change both the evaporator and the condenser at the same time, as they virtually always fail within months of each other.
The above is yet another crockashit from Clare. The evaporator and condenser do not need to be replaced *unless* they fail, and the idea of "saving yourself grief" by unnecessarily changing the evaporator, especially, is utterly laughable.
"Save yourself a bunch of grief, spend nine hundred unnecessary dollars"...
Pfft.
