So the A/C compressor doesn't engage, either? But the cooling fan does turn on when the car gets warm? Are you sure that you plugged in all of the electrical connectors to the A/C? All cars since the 1970s have a power connector to the A/C clutch and a low-pressure cutoff switch. Most cars since about the mid-80s also have a high-pressure cutoff switch on the compressor. Make sure all three are plugged in.
How did you determine that the system is full of freon? What is the static pressure reading (engine off)?
Does this car actually require discharging the A/C to change a timing belt? On many cars, you simply unbolt the compressor from its bracket and swing it to one side, without opening the system.
