If you have condensation on the low side line, then I can say 1. the compressor is working, 2. there is no big restriction in the system. I'm gonna say that the next place I'd look is the temperature control, to make sure it's opening the ducts the way it is supposed to.
As far as the pressure readings being all over, I am leaning toward the other post that suggested maybe a seal between the high and low side, in the compressor, is weak/bad. This would have to be an intermittent problem, though.

Thanks guys. Is it possible to change the seals in the compressor? I would much rather go that route right now. If I could rebuild the compressor for cheap then throw in a $4 orfice tube before getting it vacuumed down I would be happy as a pig in @#$%. I had to change out the tie rod today as it couldnt wait any longer so my spare cash is getting low. I can hear the vacuum actuated doors under the dash swing when I change from defrost to the dash vents and the heater side of the switch seems to work fine with varying heat output so I think that it is working good. The fan switch has all the speeds on both the AC and vent sides. I am still going to try and get the AC guy to take a look at it tommorrow. If I can I will update ya'll with the info he gives me. Thanks again.
