blkvrtswp is an unknown quantity at this point
AC can do this if the system has too much Freon (or whatever replacement gas is in there). Sometimes too little gas can also do the same thing. Drop into a shop that offers $30 AC check / recharge, they can quickly hook up the gauges and see what is going on with the gas pressures.

Other causes would be due to airflow - is the AC condenser/radiator too blocked by FMIC, cooling fans, oil cooler perhaps? Are you using the under engine shroud? Do you have a radiator fan shroud?

Also, if the compressor just runs with no cycling this can easily happen. Check to see if you can hear it click loudly on and off while running the AC.

Good luck - my next year's project is getting AC to work in my swapped 'vert!
