Great. I will go ahead and plan on replacing the left motor, or perhaps the whole unit.

This weekend will be in the 90's here, so I will check the refrig pressure again then.

Thanks for the good feedback.

I also wouldn't rush to judgement on the refrigerant level either. On a cold day (70˚F is pretty cold for A/C diagnosis), your head pressure will be way down. Wait for a 90˚+ day before touching the charge, it may be fine.
