I have a 03 3.8 Impala, 75,000miles. The A/C Clutch engages and disengages as it should upon hitting the ac switch. There is no difference in the air temperature of the blown air. The refrigerant lines don't get cold/hot. What should I check? Can I assume the compressor is not working though the clutch engages? Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

First check for lose of R-134a.
For more help.
Give us you low and high side pressure readings.
Engine off and at idle with compressor running and at 2K compressor running.

Ok I dont have a set of gauges for the high side, just low. I get about 65 with car off and 35 at 2500rpm and compressor running/clutch engaged. Any thoughts?

We need both low and side readings.
At idle and at 2K with compresser running.

Why not take the car to a reputable A/C guy and let him fix it?
Refrigerant spewing in your face is not good if you make a bad connection or don't know what the high and low side pressure connections are.
Be safe pay a few bucks and have it diagnosed and fixed professionally.
