AC issues - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

I searched and couldnt find anyone with quite an identical problem.... So here it goes... Last summer when I bought my car I had always noticed that the A/C worked great EXCEPT when you drove an extended distance at 70mph or more... Then all the cold air would go away and itd start blowing warm, and the A/C light would start blinking. Well last fall when i had my belts replaced the issue went away entirely....

So here I am 10 months later, just finally needing my A/C again... and the problem started all over. The belt squeaks just a little bit (didnt last year though), however its entirely random. And once again its only when driving an extended distance at 70+ mph. The only thing I honestly know of thats wrong with the A/C is that it needs a recharge, however I cannot see that causing this problem as it was perfectly fine last year.

Any one have any suggestions? Its getting a little bit hot around here to have a black car and crappy A/C.... lol.

Their are some test instructions in the shop manuals that might help.
