Question fan clutch adjustment on 380 sl

Is there any way to adjust the vico fan clutch to come at a lower temp? I live in south florida and in the summer the car tends to run hot with the a/c on.

How hot does it run? Do the aux fans operate properly? The thermostat on most Mercedes starts to open at 87C and is fully open at 102C. If it is not going much over 100, it is normal.
