Hello mlandusk,
I have had a smell like you descrbe, but I would have thought that the Mech that replaced your Evap would have cleaned the vent box out before installing the new Evap. there is ALOT of junk that finds its way into the vent box and comes to rest at the Evap if the car has never had a pollen filter installed.
This may help, try to park the car with a slight down ward slope so that the passenger side is a little higher than the drivers side, Take off the panel below the glove box, you will see that there is a black object mounted in the vent box to the left of the blower, remove this item from the vent box, spray some bleach and water mixture ( not too strong)towards the EVAP inside the vent, maybe a half to one cup worth. Try not to get any back towards the blower. Reinstall the black item ( I forget what it is called) turn on the blower full speed untill the dripping from the drain tube under the car stops. The bleach water mixture should wash out any mold or dirt or whatever else may be making this smell if it is water soluble.
It worked for me!
The A/C kicking off just when you need it most is most likely the compressor clutch. The contacts get gapped and when it gets hot it has to cool off before they will make contact again.
Do an archive search on these problems.
