My car tempurature has been running a little higher than normal and the A/C then shuts off. I just bought this car and I think its the radiator fluid being so dirty. Could that be the problem?

If your airconditioning is cutting off, then that may be the problem for the slight overheating. I would get the a/c serviced and see if that corrects the problem.
