There ARE things beyond the refrigeration section of the climate control system that can cause less than maximum a/c performance. Pods can go bad allowing outside air into the system, preventing maximum performance. Also heater valves can sometimes allow hot coolant through the heater core and it doesn't take much to compromise a/c effectiveness.
