Does your car have 1 or 2 fans on the condensor?
Do you have them running on high speed with a/c operation?

I have 2 fans and when I turn the ac on the fans come on at med or low speed. but once the temp rises to 105°C the high speed fans kick in. I know that I can disconnect the 2 prong temp sensor to the engine block and have them always running at high speed (over cooling would not be an issue as the normal outside temp where I live is triple digits 100°+), but I am not sure about the effect of the electric fans constantly running. my condenser and radiator were both replaced less than 6 mos ago, and I serviced my electric fans by taking them apart and cleaning them and greasing the parts that created friction with electric grease and they work great.
97 SL320, my heater core is disconnected, so no coolant runs to it. I have a ball valve in place of the aux water pump as I didn't need that either.
