ok...i recently installed A/C in my car ( yea so wut i lose a bit of power....so the fuk wut its hot here in texas!! its a black fast back!! lots of glass!! extra heat!!) anyway.....after installing it...it works!!! as i drive for about 20min with it on the temp gauge starts to go up to the last line before the bold line and sits there...but i dont let it stay on to do that anymore. my question is how can i prevent this from happening??

im running a stanza fan (dual fan) and the clutch fan with stock rad filled with a whole bottle of water wetter and water. do you think adding antifreze would help?? do i need a larger capacity rad??
i have trimmed the fan housing to get it closer to the rad.
this was never a problem before i added AC.
