Try running a fan with real good flow across the front condenser to see if
it'll take that little extra refrigerant.
If not you've probably got it over charged and that will also keep it from
cooling right.
Get some gauges and visit a R134 instruction page.

Subject: R 134 charging

> My '91 was converted to R 134 from R12 two years ago. Last year I added
more coolant to increase the cooling ability. Now it is time for another
re-charge and I question my procedure.  Is the air conditioning system
supposed to be running when the re-charge nozzle is attached to the place
where you refill it ? Last year as I recall I just connected the hose from
the R134 can and pressed the valve button on top of the can. It seemed to
work and the output air was much cooler than it was before re-charging but I
have the thought in mind that maybe I should have the air cinditioning
running while adding coolant. Any advice ?
