Default A/C

'04 V70 2.5T (192,223 Miles)
A/C works just fine if outside temp is cool or at night.
But, during the hot summer like So. Cal day, it starts blowing warm air after 5 to 10 min. later.
Machanic checked leak and drain/charged refrigerant, but still the same.
Since I can not see any water coming down form anywhere, I suspect the evaporator itself or drain pipe from it.
Can anyone help me to locate the drain pipe from evaporator or tell me how to check the evaporator. Can I check it by taking off the center console or need to remove entire dashboard? Or, is it any other reason orproblem?

I will bet the compressor needs to be reshimmed.
