Default climate control issues

I'm having some trouble with the Air Conditioning in my mother's C5.
I went through the usual steps in troubleshooting AC, found a leaking O-ring in need of replacement, so I just replaced ALL the O-rings, I charged the system properly, and even now (4 days later) it hasn't leaked at all. Pressure is holding fine just where I charged it to.

THe problem is, I still don't get any cold air! No matter what I set the climate control temperature to, I get nothing but hot air blowing out of whichever vent I select.

Do the climate control heads tend to go out in this generation of Vettes?

Anyone have any ideas of anything I might be missing?
-compressor kicks on and off, just as It should in order for it to function properly, I have ideal pressure in the system... controller can be set as cold or as hot as you want, AC on or AC off, and no matter what, I get nothing but HOT air...
This isn't a good thing anywhere, but especially where I live (Southwest Florida, where you actually NEED A/C in December)

Any help will be greatly appreciated
