Well, if everything is as you say.... AC system seems to be ok, I would suspect the ductwork.... a door/bypass/cutoff/whatever is not letting the cold air into the ducts. Broken cable, that kinda thing. Good luck.

If you put it on defrost and set the temp low, do you get cool air blown onto the windshield??
