Does that have an auxiliary electric fan right behind the radiator? If it does I would check to see if it's working. Probably has a small transistor type relay that's probably bad. If it's cooling going down the road but stops when sitting still it doesn't have enough air flow across the condenser.

It is still a good idea to have the system evacuated before recharging. Moisture in the air can cause problems down the road.
