Default Condenser/Dryer Gone??

A/C help. I had to change and A/C line and repressure the system. The compressor kicks in and the system has full pressure, high pressure side going into the cab is cold as ice but no cold air is coming out of the vents. Normally the condensor/dryer drips water but there's nothing going on. Any ideas are appreciated.

From the compressor to the condensor should be hot. Condensor to orifice tube should be warm. Orifice tube to evap should be cold. Evap to accumulator and compressor should be cool.

Great. That's just what its doing, and still no cold air. I'm headed back to Kansas soon and am dreading getting there with no A/C.

How often does the compressor cycle?

Late response. Just got done driving from NY to Texas and then Kansas. Compressor cylces fine. And at low speed there's tons of cold air. At 70 or so it goes away. It was greatdriving virtually without AC and seeing the cab temp float around 100*.
