Check to make sure the green plastic vacuum line in the engine compartment is connected -- AC out the defrost is often caused by a lack of vac to run the system.

If you have a hand vac pump, attach it and see the green line holds vac. If not, you have a leak somewhere under the dash, if it does, you have a supply problems, look for broken hoses.

Tinting the windows shouldn't have done anything to the climate control, so I suspect it's coincidence.
