Default A/C dosent blow very cold. Recharged and converted still nothing *searched*

Ive converted my system to r-134a changed out the receiver dryer evaporator and compressor, bought refrigerant from parts store and filled it full its at 45 psi now max in the "safe zone" according to my ac gauge. but the air still doesnt blow very cold on a hot day its not enuf to feel but in the shade u can feel it just a tad cooler then the wind. any idea what i can do from here? dunno if this helps diagnose but the side vents barley blow air just the 2 front mains. any help is appreciated as im trying to win the battle with the heat.

not sure about why its not cold but for the vents does it blow out hard with the heat or is it still weak then too.

I think it was just born sucky in 4th gens. I use the recirculate button when it's really hot out and that definitely brings it down a few more degrees. But in a black on black car like mine it is mostly a losing battle.

yeah the blowers suck shiet. you could replace them yourself though if its just the fan itself.

my flaps inside dont' actuate very well though so i have to pound on the dash (above flaps) to make them shift from the different blowing posistions lol.

what a temper-mental bitch my lude is becomming. every day it has to whine about something. if its not the distributor crying for help, or the power steering pump screaming to be put out of misery, than its a leak in the intake manifold making a whinning noise like a dying child.
