more more more 84 300CD problems

Waiting on a new fan clutch because mine is seized-

However, my car runs hot, usually just under/over 100c.

Wouldn't the fan running all the time keep the car running cooler? Wondering if replacing the clutch is going to exacerbate the problem.

Also trying to diagnose low power. I've got okay power, feels good off the line- it's just lacking. Enough that the indy noticed it during a test drive, and tipped me off about the fan clutch possibly hogging power.

Seems to struggle between 60-80mph, sticks around 80. I have new monark nozzles, return lines, valves are adjusted, boost is set around 12psi, alda/banjo lines checked and double checked. Any thoughts? Thinking maybe tank strainer?
