KA Operating Temps with AC

What is everyone's normal operating temps while ac is running?

Here's my setup:
KA-T
Nismo Tstat
Koyo Rad w/ blitz cap
New Gates water pump
Taurus fan wired on high
50/50 coolant w/ water wetter

With AC off cruising around the car sits around 165F, No more than 175F on the hottest days and around 185F with sustained interstate driving.

With AC on it sits around 205F cruising around and will climb up to 220F with interstate driving.

I know the first suggestion is to go back to a mechanical fan. That isn't an option. I was running one and after installing the Koyo I noticed the shroud was extremely close to the blades. Sure enough, within a couple of days the fan ate the shroud. Now I'm running Megan mounts which raises the motor, and I'm almost positive there's no way it's going to fit now. Even so, I don't want to run a mechanical fan.

It's also important to note that once I get off the interstate the temps will immediately drop back to around 205-210F. I'm planning to take the car on a 6+ hour road trip at the end of the month and would like to be able to use AC. Should I worry about the 220F temps? I'm thinking about getting a small pusher fan and putting it on the front of the condenser wired to come on when the AC is engaged.
