My A/C is not cooling off. I replaced the compressor and added freon and still won't work. The person who put on the compressor did not replace the expansion valve. Should it be replaced?

You should replace the reciever drier and the orifice tube, if it has one, the pull it into vacuum. What are the manifold gauge readings?
