Keeping my self cool HELP

LAst year i had my car converted to 134a and now that its hot this summer im sweating in my car how do i know if i need to recharge my AC? Also when i have my AC on mac it blows out of the vents but not very strong I herd someone put a new blowermotor in there car form a 4th gen and it wokred better will it fit i want my face to be blown off basicly.

Also when i have my AC on my car hits about 250 and stays there is that normal and it seems to suck away all my gas when i have it on.

Well get a thermometer and stick it in the vent...if whats coming out of the vent is cold...your a/c probably doesnt need to be charged. If you are getting weak airflow into the car..,,you might need to get a new blower motor, or the vacuum switches that operate the ducts could be clogged up.

Running the air makes the cooling system and the car work that much harder, especially if ambient air temp is already high...so it will run hotter and suck more gas. If its drastic, I would look at each thing as a seperate problem.

Honestly I am not really sure how to check them......someone else here might. Sorry.

Hmm a stock 3rd gen blower motor is only like 20ish bucks, and not to hard to install, pushes plenty of air.
