alright, heres where im at now, i discharged the system, and recharged it. using 1.63lbs as per the sticker. pressures were 35/350 so i shut it down. line was hot on low side. which indicates a blockage. im going to replace the orifice with the gm one with the brass piece in it. maybe i didnt clean the system out good enough.

So I found my problem, I didn't clean out, Probably the condenser good enough. I blew it out, but I didn't flush it out with anything and now my orifice tube screen was totally clogged. so i'm hoping all the debris from the previous compressor was in the orifice, and now i'm going to vacuum it down, refill it. and try it again.
