What is your question?
I evacuated the system and disconnected the lines to check that the condenser isn't plugged by blowing by filtered air through the system. The low and high side switch works. If it has too high of a charge, the compressor won't turn on. If it has too low of a charge, the compressor won't turn on. I replaced the drive belt and adjusted the tension during installation. The central console switch(s)work. I'm not sure if the receiver / dryer on the R/F fender well is bad or the evaporator under the dash is bad.

Compressor working?.... When fully charged, what are the gauge readings... Low & high?... And at what ambient temp? Receiver drier/accumulator cold to the touch?... Making water and dripping onto ground??.... IF so.... Possible heater blend door problem and A/C is actually working... Little more info needed!
Compressor working?.... Yes, compressor turns on and off with console switch When fully charged, what are the gauge readings... Gauge reads 40 PSI with compressor running Low side has to be > 30 PSI & high side has to be < 50 PSI for the compressor to work And at what ambient temp? 75 - 80 Degrees Fahrenheit Receiver drier/accumulator cold to the touch?... No Making water and dripping onto ground??.... No Also - Passenger side carpet is not wet, possibly indicating an evaporator leak No odor in car when A/C is running
ok
Pushrod, I've checked everything and the A/C system seems to be working except it still doesn't blow cold air. I took the car and had a service station vacuum the A/C system down. The low side was 30 PSI and the high side was 150 psi at idle. It was determined that the compressor is week and needs replaced. I had them vacuum the system down and store the freon for later. I bought a compressor for $140.00 and installed it, then took it back and had the service station vacuum the system again, then charge it with the freon they had stored. It cut the cost of putting freon in it twice. Anyway, the A/C system now blows cold air. All told, I did the diagnostics and repairs for less than $200.00. I was able to isolate and repair the specific part of the system that was broke (Compressor) and saved a bunch of money.
