Default H3 air conditioning problems
The air blows but it's not getting cold and it has refrigerant, I don't wanna take it into a mechanic and pay a fortune so has this happened to anyone? Was it the condenser or the ac clutch?

Just sit back and listen to your engine while you watch your rpms at idle.

It appears your A/C compressor clutch is engaging. Now, you need to look at the pressures.

What year is it and how many miles? You think that might be important?
