A/C quit 4 hours after R-134a conversion. What the?

Recently converted my '92 9000, 135k miles from R-12 to R-134a. I changed the drier/receiver, expansion valve, and had the compressor rebuilt. Also did a good flush with a a/c flush kit I purchased from J C Whitney. Had a professional pump the system down and service with R-134a and ester oil. Didn't really need the a/c in Illinois in December, so I didn't operate it until I reached California. Was hot in LA yesterday, so I gave the new system a go. It worked fine for about 4 hours, then quit. I don't see any sign of leaks (surely there would be a bit of oil near a leak if there was one). I tried putting in more gas, but the clutch is not engaging so none went in. My guess is that it is the pressure switch attached to the drier/receiver. Does anyone agree or have any other ideas? Thanks.
