When car is hot, overheating are both fans running?
Are both radiator cooling fans running when the A/C is engaged? If not... that's a problem. If they are running... then check your radiator coolant level. If it's low... that's a problem. If the radiator is full... then you should start thinking about poor radiator heat transfer efficiency... plugged up radiator?... restricted airflow through radiator?

Could be the relay for the rad fan that is gone.
