I would start by making sure you have the right pressures going.  Did you vacuum the system long enough?  Moisture in the system can cause performance issues.  If needed I would recover and vacuum for at least 10min. then recharge.  Don't always go by what the sticker says about charge amount, not becuase the sticker may be wrong but more likely that the machine is inaccurate.  Charge by pressure readings and vent temps.  A proper setup should take about 30deg out of the ambient temp.  If it is an R12 system  pressures should be about 30-35psi on the low side and about 100psi plus add in the ambient temp to 100 for the high side.  On a hot day the compressor should stay on constantly and the accumalator should be sweating.  Hope this helps.
