Default Air Conditioning question...

I tried doing a search, unless I did something wrong I can't find anything. I have a 98 coupe with almost 75,000 miles on it and the AC is not blowing as cold as it use to. I have the passenger control as well and if feels like it is blowing cooler then the driver side. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks.

Go to your local auto parts store and get an R134a pressure gauge.
(less than $20) This will tell you if your system is down on refrigerant.
If so, you may be only $8 more away from a full system...

They did a full recharge and it seems to be working fine, hopefully there isn't a small leak. They put some die in there and he told me to come back in a couple weeks and he would check to see if it is leaking.
