ac unit vs Turtle

Road debris damaged my a/c unit that's in front of the radiator; my a/c was working fine before hitting a turtle at 70mph. How can I repair the dime size hole or do I need to replace the entire unit.

I assume it's the condenser your referring to.
You'll need to replace it, then have the system evacuated and recharged.
