Freon might have run out.
The vent could be clogged way down below.

The heater should work fine unless the vent is clogged way down below.

Take off your dashboard and see how far down you can reach to pull out ANYTHING.

There is a leak in heating core on the passengers side how can i fix that myself

This is a job that will take a lot of motivation for even someone that is used to working on this stuff. All the items that need servicing is under the dash. You'll have to disassemble all the duct work to get at this core. There is nothing really technical about it, you just have to remember how it all goes back together. Have your digital camera ready and take pics of each dis-assembly step. You really should invest in a repair manual that spells out the steps too.

My heater works but air conditioning won't

The Air-conditioning needs to be re-gassed. Take the car to an Auto Mechanic to get the Air-Conditioning re-gassed. They might also need to check it for leaks to make sure the gas stays in.
