Maybe a lower radiator hose sucking shut under heavy load like pulling a hill. AC always puts more load on engine have you washed the coolng fins out in front of condensor and reverse washed back through the radiator side. Could be a slite leaking headgasket problem puting compression back in the cooling system (NOS) 8)
