Cool Hot, a/c not cool enough

Ok, here goes, new fan clutch, a/c compressor, drier, orfice tube, r134 kit convertion, not very cool still. I talked to some a/c guys and they said it needed a smaller orfice tube, they thought it was the red one, not the blue one, so thats the one I bought, so anybody got any ideas, is the blue one the one I should have got, damn it's hot down here in southeast Tx.

I think red is the right one.
What color was the old one?

You should try posting in the HVAC forum. I'm having a little A/C trouble myself and posted in there.
