So I, understand you hit 37 with the lowest fan (internal) setting while not moving correct?

Regarding the compressor oil, it gets injected with the r134a boost. So bleeding some of it out isn't so bad, but you are right, without it not good news. I would really like to drain and vacuum the system but I'm not in the mood to spend 200 bucks to do it...
There are control systems which limit the minimum temperature so that the evaporator coils don't freeze up. The coldest you're going to see is 2C or about 37F. You're extremely unlikely to see temps like that on high interior fan speed unless you're on recirc and the car is already cold inside.
