Thanks for your detailed reply Steve.

What did the gauge attached to the low pressure Schrader valve read? Was that high as well?

Is the compressor brand new? Is it the correct type for your engine?

Simon

Summary
High pressure immediately upon starting engine
New compressor
Compressor clutch tested (using diagnostic kit)
Second-hand condenser, 30 mins. vacuum
Radiator fan tested (higher speed from trinary connector, both speeds using diagnostic kit)
