When my ac is on... my car runs cool... wtf????

Whenever my 92 rs is almost to overheat, if I turn on the ac the temp drops back down to normal... how is this?

Its normal,
when ever I get food to go and theres a long line I turn my a/c on so it doesnt get up to 220. It ussually reaches 220 if I dont turn my a/c on when im standing still.

The fans on these cars normally turn on at 220 degrees and shut off at about 195 degrees. When the A/C is on the fans stay on all the time

You can use that to your benefit if you ever go to the dragstrip. I unhook the plug at the back of the compressor, then wrap it in elec. tape. That way it runs the fan without the compressor actually kicking on. It just helps cool the engine between runs, and keep it cool while your in the staging lanes. Otherwise, if the compressor stays on, it would get condensation on the lines, and drip on the track right at the tree. Then everyone would hate me.
