Default air conditioning not blowing hard enough

i have a 93 dx with jdm b16 swap and i swapped out the compressor to a 97 gsr compressor and refilled the freons. the air is cold and everything but it doesnt blow out hard enough so the car isnt really cold, if i put it on max it blows out about half speed of what other cars do, what could be the problem

Now, did you actually put Freon (R12) in it? If so, that's going to upset the balance of things. If you put R134a in it (1,3,4 Tetraflouroethane), your blower motor is either clogged or broken.

this may seem like a stupid answer but ive dont it numerous times. Check the vent on the top of your dash. If it is open the air seems like it's not even on. Close it and you will notice a difference. If not, go with the other guys solutions.

Not so. Freon is actually a brand name that's trademarked by DuPont. It's their version of refrigerants. Not just R12. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Anyway, like the guys above mentioned, look in your blower box located under the passenger side of the dash. It's a black plactic box that houses the blower motor and heat and AC coils. Open it up. There's a good chance you have some leaves and other junk stuck inside there.

True, but I was referring to it as Freon because that's what the original poster cited it as .

your vents may be clogged, or your blower motor might be bad

It can be your blower resistor pack.. blower motor.. check to see your voltage drops accross the motor as you change to each item.

get a helm and go to page 21-9 ( 882 in PDF ) and do some troubleshooting.
