I run the stock radiator and fan with my 331 stroker in a 1995 GT. It stays cool under most conditions without the A/C on. If I get stuck in thick traffic in the middle of town the car will start to run hotter. The car doesn't run hot on the highway with the A/C on. However it always runs hotter if I turn the A/C on in town with any kind of mild or thick traffic, so much so that I just turn the A/C off to be safe. The temperature gauge goes back down once I shut the A/C off in town.
Would a better radiator remedy this, or would something else be the culprit. I have not put a real temp gauge on to test it, but I am basing this all on the stock temperature gauge. The fan seems to be working just fine. I also live in the South, and it gets very hot here during the summer, and driving the car without A/C during the day is not fun at all.
