Possibly unrelated, but one of my Synchros did the same, and it's a 
close cousin to your car.  I pulled the connector on thermoswitch at the 
bottom of the radiator, jumpered it with a paperclip to get the radiator 
fan going.  There's only three wires, one obviously power, you can 
experiment.  It got me back on the hot, Dallas freeway and I kept using 
the paperclip for the week until I drove back to Michigan.  (*Take it 
out when you shut off the car.)  I replaced the thermoswitch and was 
fixed for a month, then the problem came back.  I cleaned the plug more 
thoroughly, got more corrosion out of it, and had no more problems.  
Perhaps the A/C problem is due to no fan at the hot coil?  My A/C never 
worked so I didn't notice that.
