A/C trouble too 850 1995

I'm having similar A/C problems as other posts. It cycles warm-cool, but never really cold. I also hear the "clicking" as something seems to be cycling off and on. I checked the pressure and was at about 80psi. Am I on the high pressure side? I can't find another port to check.
It's hot as blazes here in NC lately and my wife is on me to fix it as this is her car. Help!

    as far as i know there is only one port that i found as well. should be toward the front of the car, passenger side, black cap.

    buy a refill can, it will have the freon in there as well as the oil. try adding in a can or 2, if they go in pretty easily, obvioulsy it was a lack of freon, if not, u better pray its not serious

    As mentioned many times, have the system recovered (weighs present charge) and if low (likely) recharge it and have dye added. The only port is the low side and the AC needs to be running, compressor ON to measure the pressure which should be alot lower than 80psi.
    If there's a dye sticker already under the hood, then have it leak checked with a blacklight and yes, a person CAN see the evaporator by removing the blower motor resistor.
