Yes--the only way to tell if the system is working right is to hook up a low pressure and high pressure gauge respectively. That will give the proper idea of what is happening.

Also, it's possible that the climate controls are malfunctioning and causing heat to get through to the passenger compartment, destroying the cooling ability of the A/C system.

The best way to start is to see if the system is making appropriate pressure.
