A/C Cutting In - Out
My 94 / 850 Turbo with Dual Pasenger Control AC runs and cranks out cool air for a few minutes and the starts blowing hot air. Sometimes the passenger side vents are blowing hot while the driver side is blowing cold. Otehr times when I turn it on I get no cool air at all. 
NO NO NO NO,
FIRST CHECK the freon level. Most likely you need to charge it BUT the other issue is probably the temperature sensors in the headliner areas.
Look at the "oh sh*t or grab handles above each window.
There is a small hole in a plastic cover. The hole is about 1/4" or so.
Blow some clean compressed air in there. one of the "computer blaster" cans with the red tube works well.
The reasons I say this are
1. Most people do not even know they are there.
2. He gets cold air on one side and not the other sometimes.
There is only ONE compressor so if it was bad or the clutch was slipping or he was low on freon, he would have the same temp air from BOTH sides of the vents. Not just one.

Both sides of the clutch wear over time. That's why it needs to be reshimmed.
