Maybe this will help. My '88 201/2.6 has a themostatic clutch on the engine driven fan and two auxillary electric fans at the front of the radiator. I believe your car has a similar setup and algorithms, but I'm not sure.
The themostatic fan clutch on the engine driven fan engages at about 100C based on the temperature of the exit air out of the radiator, and will cause "fan roar" when starting out from a stop in traffic and accelerating to about 3000 in first gear, so once the engine gets up to at least 100C increase the revs and feel/listen for increased engine driven fan effort. The two electric fans engage high speed at about 105C.
I believe the electric fans will also engage at low speed based on A/C demand, but I'm not sure of the algorithm.
Let your car idle with the A/C off and observe fan operation. Let it heat up to 110C if necessary. Once you get your A/C fixed, you can run the same test with the A/C on.
