A/C Low Pressure High and High Pressure Low

Long story short, my original compressor seized. I replaced the compressor with an exact replacement from the junk yard and installed a new clutch. I added 6 ounces of oil to the compressor and 2 ounces to the accumulator as per the manual. I replaced the low pressure switch, the accumulator, the orifice, all the seals, flushed the condenser and evaporator, evacuated and charged with 36 ounces of 134A. I had almost the same results with 24 ounces of R134A as I do with 36 ounces of R134A. I think I have a bad compressor but I don't want to waste any more money if I'm wrong. Also, if I replace the compressor, I'll be forced to replace the accumulator and probably the orifice again, not to mention the cost of more R134A. The condensor fan is operating properly and the compressor is not slipping or shutting off. There is no blockage in front of the condensor or radiator. There is plenty f aire flow through the condenser. There is no overheating condition of the engine. I'm stumped! Thank you in advance for any help. I appreciate it.

Here are my readings @ 95 degrees ambient temperature

System Off - Static Readings
Low= 115 High=115

System a @ Idle
Low=75 High=155

System @ 1500 RPMs
Low= 50 High= 180

System @ 3000 RPMs
Low=35 High= 230
