AC Problem

The AC system was recently rebuilt due to a clutch failure on the compressor(new compressor, condenser etc.). It worked initially, but now works only intermittently. It will come on for a while and cool a bit, but after a while, blows only hot air. Intermittently, we'll also get a rattely noise from somewhere up front that goes off if the AC OFF button is pushed.
The shop that did the work claims that the system is fully charged and is cooling properly, and thinks that problem is somewhere in the distribution system (e.g. blend door problem), or controller. They say they don't have the proper diagnostic tool (TECH II) to figure it out. It's a shop I've used before and generally they've been reputable.
I didn't get the normal blend door error codes when OFF and AUTO buttons are held together and no trouble codes come up with an OBD II code reader. All the vents are blowing the same air.
Any ideas about what is going on?
