I should have been more clear. The line from the compressor to the AC radiator was hot; hotter than I could touch continuously. The top few tubes in the radiator were warm. Everything else was ambient. I'm thinking about pulling the under-dash panel and giving the TXV a few taps (in case it is stuck). The car is still 100% R12 and I don't have a recovery system so I'll probably need to go to a pro for any repair that involves replacing parts.
