I think my overheating from ac is solved, since I installed the 6 blade fan it seems to run a lot cooler at 85 deg and 70 mph with ac it runs it runs about 180 deg while city driving it stays around 200 deg. I let it idle with ac on it gets up to 210 to 215. this is running water and water wetter. turn off the ac and it will drop.

I went with a temp controlled fan and also had good results. Arizona summers (100+)around town I am running around 215 degrees.

I don't have room for a temperature controlled fan, I would love to use one what car do you have it on?

I think if you can get a fan with shroud and want it electric controlled it uses a port like heater out let. I tried one most important they go on but nervier shutoff.
Should be able to turn on and off with switch's. I have my fan wired with a light so I know when the fan is on, small light will do.

Do you have any insulation on the firewall, I had a temp control fan but on the highway it would run hot, city it worked great.

You don't need a fan over 25mph and if you have a full shroud it could block the air flow. I bought one and I didn't like cutting it but cut off about 25% of bottom.
If you have air you are asking for more troubles if blocking rad.
The other day I never see it go to 235 degas 210 is ok.

You don't need to use the shroud because it restrict the air flow to great extent, why don't to hire air conditioning repair professional to handle that issue.
