A/C question?

My 305 TBI engine runs hot when I turn the ac off and runs steady with it on. What the heck is going on? Someone told me something about a regulator fan. Any ideas?

I believe the radiator fan is always on when the AC is on. Pop the hood and see if the fan turn on.

Sounds like your temp switch is bad. It tells the fan to come on at a certain temp. When you turn on the A/C the fan switch is then bypassed and the fan is on constantly.
