Have you check AC pressure? Low coolant? One test I do Is short the control plug at the condensor near the fire wall to see if compressore is running right.

When it is setting idling and the AC on, does the clutch cycle at all?

I can sit in my driveway idling all day long and AC is ice cold. If I drive down the highway at speeds above 55-65 or so AC blows luke warm

Probably blend door. Check vacuum on the mixer and see if it is adding warm air under slight load.

Let it warm up; set the parking brake, tranny in neutral or park; then have a friend rev it up to 2400 rpm and see what it does. The compressor clutch may be slipping at high rpm, you can clean it with some electric contact cleaner which is plastic safe and no residue if you see any kind of comtamination on the compressor clutch hub. It's one thing to get the compressor spinning at idle compared to high rpm. Just a thought but it really sounds like you need to dump some more refrigerant in the system.
