Hi. There seems to be a blockage within the system. I will list all parts to be checked by your mechanical. I would also have the blend door linkages or servos inspected for fail points along with the listed areas of concern, below:

Loose or broken drive belt
Inoperative compressor or slipping compressor clutch
Defective expansion valve
Clogged expansion valve, receiver-drier or liquid refrigerant line
Blown fuse
Leaking component: any of the parts listed above or one of the A/C lines, hoses or seals.

Instruct your mechanic to check all the above, along with the dash blend door linkages for faults.

    Most mechanics will charge buy the hour for labor and the fixed price for parts will depend on what is damaged. Normal charges should not exceed the 275 dollar mark.

If its cold on one side and warm on the other side,its the climate control board inside the vehicle that controls the temperatures from side to side and the rear compartment passenger area,if it has gone totally warm inside the vehicle in every area,then the compressor and a.c. components have an under-hood problem,such as a leak, as this unit uses a split manifold divider at the condenser to send refrigerant to all evaporators,both front and rear evaporators,and the rear evaporator line runs in the vehicles frame and can be ruined by road debris,salt from winter.etc., as the sealed unit system,pressure switches

This problem is a low freon charge in the system. ... But a system that is 1/2 pound low will cause the passenger side vents to blow cool or cold air, and the drivers side to be less cool or even warm on this car. There is simply not enough freon capacity in the system to cool the air to the drivers side. https://www.justautorepair.com/buick/century/cool-passenger-warm-driver

1995 Buick Century blowing hot air.

A mechanic would check the system with a set of pressure gauges. If the compressor is running, the low side would read around 30psi and the high side would be around 250psi. That is how you know if the system is full of freon or not.
You may have to get a professional diagnosis to proceed. If you replace the compressor, the accumulator needs to be replaced and a vac pump is used to pull all of the air out before the freon is added.
