If you want to get your AC to run cooler, have a shop check your freon out, better yet, get the whole thing serviced. See if everything is good, make sure your condenser is not clogged.
If your engine temp doesnt get that high, your AC running shitty isnt because you dont have enough airflow cooling down the rad and condenser.
My car is opposite of yours. It creeps up to 100 during the summer when i'm stuck in traffic with the AC. I have a Greddy Rad with a FAL twin on it, an R33 pusher fan in front of the condenser and billion thermostat with 5 holes on it, my shit still runs hot in the summer. I'm planning on going back to the stock shroud/mech fan setup. Hopefully itll push my temp down then...

I bet in your environment with the stock clutch fan and shroud you will run 10 degrees cooler. I am going to get my front bumper repainted, get my greddy front lip installed, pull the shity electric fans off my radiator, install factory sr20det s14 shroud, clean the condenser really good, buy a syclone pusher fan and place it on front of the condenser, then put everything back together, and get the a/c serviced just to make sure it has no leaks or will blow colder. I looked at the factory service manual and it states at 100 degrees the factory a/c should blow 81 ish degrees. That is not very cold for that ambient temperature. Maybe nothing wrong with the a/c at all.
There is a day and night difference between what the clutch fan blows and what any electric fan ever could. It would take a 350 horsepower electric fan to equal it. LOL
from what i understand as well, if you flow more air over your condenser, it will make the a/c cooler as well as pull more air through the radiator. Effective cooling and efficient a/c operation go hand in hand. As long as everything is fully function in your a/c system.
