If you have any rubber seals on the hood remove them. Your factory radiator fan turn on temps are usually in the +200F range. A manual controller using the factory wiring works great if you set it just above the t-stat opening setting.. Anytime the AC is on it's dumping all that heat in front and then trhough the radiator into the engine compartment.

Do you still have your factory splash guards in place? They're extremely important for engine bay aerodynamics.
You might try removing the insulator mat and raisinthe rear of the hood with spacers.
