Default A/c problem

Hello everyone. I have a strange issue with my ac. It blows ambient temperature when switched to ac. The strange part is my ac line turns cold when i turn the ac on. But no cold air blowing through the vents. Anyone have thus problem?

The best is to get a manifold and check the pressure

Cheers,

I have yet to connect the gauges I got very sick this weekend so I haven't got a chance. But my wife did notice that one center vent was not blowing any air at all. Any ideas on that?

Set temp to "HI", fan speed to 12 max, wait for the heat to come out.
select all vents settings, one by one to exercise the flaps.
Set temp to "LO" to turn on AC max.
Again set all vents settings,
Drive around with all seats are occupied, it may fix itself like mine.
