Air conditioners are tested by comparing the temperature of the air going in to the temperature of the air coming out. I think that a difference of 40 degrees is good - I am not sure.

If it is 105 in your car, and the AC puts out 70 - that will not feel good, but might be proper.

My multimeter has a thermocouple that gets a reading in a few seconds - you could use two cheap thermometers.

What is the difference in your car?

I open the rear of my sunroof so that the hottest air can escape until the car cools off.
