I did a little more troubleshooting.

Now both sides are blowing warm. I don't think it's the Heater Control Valve - I referenced a thread that said to check both solenoids on the Heater Control Valve while running the A/C on MAX. I did that and both solenoids were warm to hot which tells me they were both closed as expected. Unless it's flakey and about to fail, but I think it's currently working. This also reinforces my earlier test where both hoses coming off the valve were fairly cool to the touch and not hot at all.

I'm thinking I'm getting warm air now because I overcharged. I may have to take it in for a complete discharge and a correct charge amount. And then go from there. I'm still concerned about the high side reading around 125 PSI or so. But I'm also using a $60 cheap manifold kit and I'm not sure how accurate it is.
