check your vents at the bottom of your windshield and under the hood. sounds like your condensate drain may also be clogged. With your car parked and the ac on, after a few minutes you should see water dripping from around your right front tire.

Sounds like it's low on refrigerant. Add 12 oz of refrigerant. A little oil wouldn't hurt. Good luck.

Maybe the cooling fan for the A/C isn't working. Get that checked. When A/C can't cool off outside the vehicle, it can't cool you off inside the vehicle.

There may be a vacuum hose leaking somewhere
