The car blows warm air with A/C and fan on high. The clutch is engaged and when trying to add Freon with AC pro, it just goes right to red (see instructions). I can push in the lower valve and air comes out so it is not stuck. The compressor is new last year and the unit in the back was fixed/replaced as well. No fuses seem to be blown. Have not swapped relays around yet.

If the clutch is engaging the charge should be enough to create cold air.
I think your issue is not the AC system, it is instead a bad blend door actuator or the actual control head is faulty.

Do all of the ducts blow warm air or is it only driver side, passenger side or rear?
Do not trust looking at a fuse, get a test light and check them.

Faster and you can be sure that at least the fuse is good.

Also, which control system do you have the manual or automatic HVAC controls?
