ambient(outside) temp can be found on your rear view mirror. What is the center vent temp with ac on using a thermometer?

You might have a issue with your clutch fan not engaging I believe that will cause your ac to not run as cool correct me if I am wrong. Also I would go to the car wash a spray down your radiator clean all the funk in between the blades. Might help you get to the level of cool with your ac.

it shows 105 today so I checked and low side should be between 45 to 55 and high should be 330-335

so my low side showing between 40 to 45 bouncing between the 2 and my high side is 330

ac is cold
now but it’s not as cold as when it set standing. I look at the compressor and it’s running isn’t it suppose to pause every few mins or so?

it never paused
and I am
not dripping water under the car

I looked at the fan and all that it’s all clean cus I installed new ac condenser cus mine was falling apart . So what should I do next? Should I keep the low side bouncing between 40 and 45 I added 2 12oc cans and it still between 45 and 40

16 oz = 1 pound of refrigerant. 24oz = 1 and a half pounds of refrigerant. look at the label under the hood and see how many pounds the system needs to run properly.

24oz is the proper amount. AGAIN, WHAT IS THE TEMP AT THE CENTER VENT? A/C ON RECIRC ON FAN SPEED 1, CLOSE ALL OTHER VENTS AND INSERT THERMOMETER IN CENTER VENT. ALSO, CLEAN OUT DRAIN TUBE TO HVAC CASE.(LOWER FIREWALL PASSENGER SIDE)

I need to get one of those thermometer cus I don’t have it but where is that hvac case?
And is it safe to clean it with Freon being in the system? Can you show me where is it and how to clean it?

Do you own a cooking thermometer?

The drain is under the a/c / heater hoses, behind the exhaust manifold, I added a picture above. Blast some air into it.

Post the vent temp. Use any thermometer that goes down to freezing temp. Infrared, meat probe, fridge/freezer, outdoor thermometer.. I have around 20 digital thermometers, between my cooking thermometers, wireless meat probe, my fridges, freezers, attic, outdoor, infrared, etc.. lol
