Delete files older than "x" if directory size is greater than "y"

I wrote a script to delete files which are older than "x" days, if the size of the directory is greater than "y"

Code:
#!/bin/bash

du -hs $1
while read SIZE ENTRY
do

if [ ${SIZE} -gt 200 ];
then

find $1 -mtime +$2 -exec rm -f {} \;
echo "Files older than $2 days deleted"
else
echo "free Space available"
fi
done

I am not sure if everthing is correct it took me some tome to write it, and the only thing is to trigger it only if directory size is greater than.
pls Help
