If A/C condenser is equipped with aux fan, check its direction of air flow.

What I mean is to check the rotation of the fan blades. Improper installation can result in the fans turning the wrong way causing cooling efficiency problem.

Does the overheating occurs while running or only when stopped?

At high speed only?
Does the temperature gauge go down as soon as you slow down?
Does the gauge reading fluctuate fast when A/C is turned on?
How sure are you that it is overheating and not a false reading?

Overheating at high speed driving are usually an indication of inefficient cooling system and most common cause is restriction in the coolant passage or partially clogged radiator. When was the radiator replaced and did you happen to mix any 2 different brands of coolant?

If the reading is affected immediately when A/C is turned on, it can be a false reading due to a poor ground circuit for the gauge. Do the coolants seems to spill out of recovery tank?
