Default a/c trouble...not cooling like it should (already searched)

hey i know this has probaly been covered but i've looked for a long time and cant find it b/c you cant search for 'a/c'...anyway, i have a 92 civic LX and last summer i had to no AC (it blew air but didnt cool the air) and a bad engine so i swapped another d15b7 in (it was free and i needed it) and i had a shop tell me a sensor was bad and they replaced it and showed me which one...anyway now i'm having another a/c problem, it's blowing cold air but not enough of it...it's hot here in south carolina and i always keep it on 4 and cold and its not cooling my car at all (i have a big box-fan on a power invertor on my backseat ...its ghetto but it works)...could this be refrigerant, i was thinking maybe if i upgraded to r134a it would fix my problem? i dunno much about a/c...i know i need to get this thing pumping some cold air again so i claim my backseat back....anyway, thanks for helping

Just go to some place that sales recharging kits and do whatever the instructions tell you to do . This should work, well **** I need to do it but too lazy. I was thinking it was your condenser but if it blows out some air or w.e., it needs recharging.
