Default 93 Mustang,rare overheating...

My problem is when I use the A/C in heavy traffic,it raises the temperature heavily in less than 15 minutes.I have to turn off the A/C to mantain a low temperature in traffic.I changed the mech. fan to a electrical one from FAL black MAgic,3 rows radiator,water pump and the A/C condensor.Any suggestions?

What does the temp get up to. It is normal for the temp to rise in those conditions but only to a certain point.

not to ***** the thread, but here goes. I had previous post of my temp guage not working, but apparantly it was just running really cool (I think, or the gauge just unstuck itself) Now, Its running way at the top of "N" on normal. I noticed i had some radiator fluid spilled, and I thnk i found the small leak where it culd be coming from, Is that my only problem? There's a 160degree thermostat in.

That's the other thing i want to do,put an aftermarket water temp. gauge because i don't trust 100% on the oem gauge...
