Finally the AC is blowing cool air. I took everything, including compressor, apart again, flushed, injected oil, pulled vacuum with $12 Harbor Freight pump, and charged 3 cans. I stripped a compressor bolt in the process, but it all works now. I don't know exactly what caused my problems, but it must have been mixed oil (PAG/Ester) or flush residue or moisture, or a faulty expansion valve.
Flushing the evaporator is really hard, because there is a small orifice in the pipe, and all the mineral spirits just comes back up. I don't know how well it got flushed, not a whole lot made it to the catch tank, but aparently enough.
Thanks to all who helped me. It's great to not have to rely on shitty shop service. From now on I'll do my own AC.
