After the new compressor, new expansion valve and a new dryer - the vent temperature goes down to 52 only and on the highway and up to about 68 at idle if left long enough; Before while on the move it would dip down to 38 on the vents while on the highway and climb to 70 on a stop I left long enough.
I did noticed that the water temperature on the car seems to run a tad closer to the 100's and that the fan clutch is engaged. Perhaps because that high pressure is a bit too high?
Thanks again folks in advance for your guidance.

Sorry to hear that AC performance is worse after all the new parts. Do you know what kind of equipment was used for the recover/recharge? Did they recover and charge from the same tank? Or did they use a virgin tank of R134a? If from the same tank, it is possible it is contaminated with "whatever"- air? other refrigerant?. Or it could be incorrect amount of r134a.
Does your fan look like this one? To properly clean the entire condenser, the fan assembly has to come off. You will likely find the area on the condenser hidden by the fan motors filled with leaves.
