UPDATE


A couple of weeks have gone by and the AC is working. I did get an ac tech to check the pressures and it turns out it was overcharged. Now that the pressures are correct I'm getting 39*F at the center vent (80*F ambient with 30%-ish humidity). Cooling now holds better at idle and the fans cycle as they should.


Question: Would the KLIMA relay shut off the compressor if pressures were too high?



Lesson Learned: Don't guess around with ac pressures. Get a set of gauges, do it right and experience less headaches.
