      You may have multiple problems.

      You need to find out why "The air doesnt blow hardly at all no wind flow or anything." Does the blower motor under-perform, or is there a controls issue that doesn't direct the air to the correct outlets. Another condition that may be occuring is poor placement of face outlets to service the front seat passengers. I added a face level outlet on driver's left to my car to help my situation. The correct blower motor blowing through a clean evap core directed to the correct outlets should deliver the air volume and velocity you want. It is my opinion you need to focus on this area before assesing the need for a compressor.

      The second potential problem is vent air temperature. It may also be affected by controls, if the cold air is reheated by poor door positioning. I'd check the vacuum supply to the A/C control to make sure it's good (it defaults to heated air defrost for saftey reasons.) Make sure the control head works- move the controls and watch for vacuum motor movement.
