Hey Guys- cancel thread, i found one that explains any and all issues (thanks turbostixx for quick reply though)Thanks so much

Have you checked to make sure the A/C is charged?
Common misconception about A/Cs, they don't actually make cold air, what it does is removes the heat and humidity out of the hot air, which causes air to be cold. Without the Freon or any air in the a/c system will cause the A?C system not to be able to remove the heat and humidity.

Adding to the comment above, if your compressor is not engaging when you turn the A/C on, then you could have an improperly charged system. Most of the time if the system is low, your compressor will cycle on and off and never cool. If suction pressure drops below something like 15 PSIG then the compressor will cut off and when the pressure climbs back up to acceptable levels as seen by the computer and associated pressure switch it will turn back on and the cycle will continue.
I would start by opening the hood and locating the compressor. Turn on the car and AC and go back to the compressor. If the AC clutch has engaged and is turning (the front of the pulley on the compressor should be turning, if it is stationary then the compressor is not engaged) and not cycling, then you know that it's not so low that the compressor won't stay on. That doesn't necessarily mean that the refrigerant level is low, which it could still be.
There's also a good sticky thread here you can look through
