Default 97 Honda Civic A/C Problem

My son has a 97 Honda Civic that doesn't have cold A/C. I had a local A/C shop run a pressure check with dye and the system doesn't seem to be leaking. They said the pressures look good and the compressor is working, but it's only pumping out 70 degree air. They fully charged the system and recommended that I check the heater valve arm (which is working properly) and mentioned that some of the fins on the condesner are flat. Can anyone give me advice on what to check next?

Thanks,
Ron

did they pull a vaccuum on the old stuff and remove it. or did they just top it off with r134?

if they didnt remove the old stuff i would start there first.

I'm not really sure if they pulled it down or not.

I just hooked up my guages and I show 125 on the high side and 37 on the low side. The air in the car is about 70 degrees out of the vents and it's about 90 degrees outside. BTW, this is a R134a system.
