I have a similar problem, I tracked it down to the expansion valve. It's stuck open and dumping too much refrigerant into the evaporator, and its freezing up. (Thanks, EdG!) I know I have enough R134 in the system. I can tell because the car will leak lots of water for more than a half hour after I park it while the ice on the core melts.
Note that 1995 1/2 thru 96 or 97 cars have a dodgy anti-ice switch on the evaporator. There's a TSB out about it, it's been reposted here many times (it has quite a few troubleshooting items in it.)
Until I get it fixed, I've been using it sparingly with recirc on to minimize icing.
