Default A/C help

I have a 94 honda prelude, that I just can't get the A/C to work properly. I have changed out the compressor , condensor , evaporator, drier, and expansion valve but still during mid day heat when its the hotest it doesn't blow cold. In the morning and at night it blows ice cold.. Don't know what else I can do. Please help!!!!!!!!

thats not even close to being right. it should blow around 43 degrees + or - 1 or 2.

Thats what I figured but they kept telling me it should be at 59-64 so I thoughts it was fine but damn it takes for ever. See now in the morning I checked it and it was at a steady 40 degrees and last night it was the same. but during the day its 59-61 degrees. I live in clearwater and the shop is in brandon this would be the 6th trip over there for this A/c, i'm not driving over there again, you know anyone that can fix this????

Do you have any overheating problems with the engine during the day?There could be a problem with you not getting enough airflow through the condenser, especially if you do alot of stop and go driving.
