Default A/C Problems

Hi all,
My much needed a/c is not cooling, checked the low side refrigerant pressure was low so added some 134a and pressure is right now.
But still not working right while sitting at idle it gets somewhat cool but when I start driving warm air blows out! Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the tips!
Looking though the service manual, it says I have to remove the hvac housing unit and drain the cooling system to get at the blend-air door, Crazy is that the only way?

I've got the same problem, but no shop manual. Where is the blend door relitive to the fan motor, and what what position will it be in for cooling when viewed from where ever I can view it from?

I might be lucky I opened the hood so I caould watch the a/c compressor while getting the rpms up to about 1500 and I can see the compressor clutch slipping, so hopefully this is my only problem I really don't want to attempt getting to that blender door!
