A/C clutch slips at high temperature

I just bought a 1987 900S (to replace the one that saved my son's life in a roll-over!) After a couple of weeks of taking care of the usual 900 problems (ball joints, wheel bearings etc) I decided to take the car in to get the A/C checked out for a trip to Canada. I was working but not too cols. Has been converted to 134a but I dont know what exactly was done. SAAB/SEIKO compressor. The A/C "expert" added more gas by the pressure guages and measured the outlet temperature at idle on 95 deg + day in Sothern Florida. Now the A/C stops working after about 20 min. of city driving. The compressor is so hot I can't touch it (over 60 deg C)and the clutch slips when applied above idle speed.
Any suggestions?
Need A/C to get the car up to Canada and I don't trust the experts!
