A/C won’t blow cold despite many replacement parts.

I very recently purchased a ‘98 1.9 5 speed and have been absolutely loving it. I’m working on tackling some issues but have no idea where to start on this.
The car has 80,000 miles on it and within the last 20k or so it has had the compressor replaced twice, once by the first owner and once by the second, along with the condenser by the second owner. The second owner said it worked at first but eventually fizzled out so he got the condenser replaced and it worked for a year or so again before stopping again when the compressor and serpentine belt were replaced. He said it once again, worked for a year or so.
It seemed like it may be a hose problem, however the car fax says that hoses were replaced.
Even weirder, the day I bought the car, 3 years after the final a/c fix, the a/c blew cold and has not since.
I’m curious if anyone has had a similar issue and found a solution or if anyone has an idea.
