2005 2.3 Litre AC blows warm and no center vent only upper dash

Hi guys. So customer issue
1. AC blows warm
fuses #25 is good Tried new Relay no change.
2. No power @ AC compressor clutch grey/white wire
when I apply power with my power probe to pin#1 on compressor. Clutch kicks in and blows cold.
pressure are good no leaks. One thing I notice the high side line off compressor gets super hot. Crazy barely can touch it after a minute or so. Not sure what the deal is there.
2nd part to my HVAC only blows to upper dash.
I checked getting vacuum out of intake to supply that black sphere. I have vacuum coming out of it. That goes to HVAC. Even tried a know good new AC panel unit no change. Tried tapping on the blend door actuator nothing. I don’t Hear any noises.

any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
