Vent tempt is the temp of air coming out of vents.
If it is hot like heater hot the blend/tempt door is not opening.
If stays hot on low and high temp settings
Has it got good engine vacuum to heater controls.
Low side pressure needs to be down around 30 lbs to get cold out of ac
But we need low and high side readings at idle and at 2K rpm with compressure running before we can help.

45 low side reading is to much R-134 or compresser not working good or expansion tube not working.
Has any thing been done to it/
like adding r-134?

You need one of these to check charge and compresser and orfice tube operation.
