Do I need a more current HVAC system for my car?

I have this awesome little bus that I use whenever I am taking my youngsters plus their friends to their various activities. I picked up the mini-bus at an auction, plus it is the best thing I ever purchased. It has a decent HVAC unit, plus it gets 30 MPG in town. Last week, I was taking a group of youngsters to the public pool for their swimming lessons. I had the A/C on full blast, but they weren’t getting cool air. I dropped the youngsters off plus told them I was going to stay with the car. I called the repair station who sent someone to the pool to look at my A/C system. I asked if I needed more coolant in the A/C unit, or if I was in need of a different HVAC system? The repair tech said he couldn’t be sure. He was going to add some coolant to keep the A/C working until I got the young ones to the apartment plus brought the mini bus into the repair center. I thanked him, but the A/C wasn’t working as well as it had been before this happened. I dropped all the youngsters off at their homes, including my own youngsters, plus went to the car repair station. I kept hoping I would just need some labor done on the A/C unit, but that’s not what happened. My bus had an enclosed HVAC system, plus although you could repair either part of it, you needed to replace everything if replacement was necessary. I didn’t want to know how much it was going to cost, I just told them to replace the HVAC system.
