Your not bringing enough air through the condenser. At 2000 rpm (in park)hi speed fan and MAX or recirculate bring your low side to between 30-35 on the gauge. This will give you very close to the right amount of freon. With all that if your situation does not better at an idle. Buy a heavy duty fan clutch such as a Haydon. You need to get as much air through your condenser as possible!!!!!! You are running 134A in a system that was designed for R12, the condensers on cars designed for 134A have more fins per inch. No real need to change the condenser though. I run 134A in my 71 T/A with no fancy tricks, ice cold on a 95* south Florida day, five years now.
