B737-200 had 'a' system hydraulic failure at 500 ft on final approach. Because landing gear was down and full flaps were extended, they continued and landed advising tower they might not be able to clear the runway. They were able to taxi to the gate.

Narrative:
On short final approach to runway 23 in clt the 'a' system pump low pressure lights came on and the 'a' hydraulic quantity went to zero. We were less than 500 ft AGL. Gear was down. Flaps were down full 30 degrees. 'B' system pressure and 'B' brake pressure were good and the aircraft was handling well so we continued to land advising tower that we may not be able to clear the runway. We were in fact able to clear the runway and accurately control the aircraft on the ground to taxi to the gate.
