Default 92 305 Getting Hot When A/C is on

So I have a 92 RS with the 305 TBI.

When it's hot out she likes to get hot only when the ac is on.


When the ac is off and it's hot it will stay around 180. But when I am around town or idling the car will get hot. I mean it starts to spike over 220


Please help.

Have you checked between the radiator and a/c condensor for any foreign materials? Do you have the stock fan switch in the passenger side head? You can replace that with an aftermarket 180 degree one, or a stock one from an 86-87 Buick Grand National that will turn the fan on at 205 degrees. Do you have the stock 195 degree thermostat? You can change that to 180 degrees or 160 degrees.
