Default Bad A/C on 95 Roadster

Just bought myself a birthday present - 95 white roadster - beautiful car. However, while driving it home from Texas the A/C unit started acting up. When I turn it on it runs for a few minutes then starts lightly blowing non-cool air. The 10 fan setttings don't work - car blows at one speed. When I turn A/C off, wait a few minutes then turn it on again, it starts with the cool air for a few minutes again then non-cool. Compressor? fan?? Any ideas? Also, the "G" button on the climate control never really starts blowing hard like it did on my 92. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Have you checked the electronic disply for codes? My guess is that you are low on refrigerant.

That would account for warmer than normal temps ~ however, It could also be caused from a dirty condensor (it sits in front of the radiator and catches a lot of crap). Could also be a dirty evaporator.

Is it the automatic air conditioning or the standard type? On the auto-air if you hit the auto button the fan speed is controlled automatically based on how hard it thinks it needs to blow. Check freon (R134A). It may be low on charge. 'verts a/c's don't get used as much as coupes, which can lead to seals failing sooner than usual and freon leaks developing.
