The a/c puts a little strain on your engine, any engine, to keep you cool inside.... a few weeks ago, my brothers 88 4runner's radiator blew, cause i ran the a/c in 103 degree weather, hauling 2000lbs in a trailer for about 20 minutes.
camry 1991 overheat when a/c on
ok i am continueing from the other thread i had..it was a little long 
anyway i changed the thermostat..
after testing the car for a while now...
i found the car doesnt overheat when the a/c is off thorugh out the trip.
however when i come back home i hear a wheezing sound from the engine and yesterday i could feel bubbling in the pipes and radiator, but not in the overflow tank. the pipe at the top of the radiator was extremely hot and hard however the one at the bottom was not as hot but just as hard. the radiator cap was extremely hot.
when the a/c is off the car doesnt overheat, when i turn it on i notice the indicator slowing increasing, as soon as i turn the a.c off the indicator drops to half again.
the fan is certainly running i could hear it and when i got home i saw it running.
i havent driven the car for a very long drive mostly around 30 odd km at a time.
what would be causeing the boiling and noise in the radiator and pipes?
why does the a/c overheat the car?

damn thats gotta sux
but it wasnt that hot outside..it was a cold day...and the a/c was on for one 10minutes the first time the second time the i drove the car for about 15min go tit nice and warm then when i turned the a/c on 2 minutes later the temp started to rise slowing. so i turned the a.c off stopped at a traffic light and the indicator dropped to half again
very weird
i tried to take air out of my engine its funny cause the indicator never reaches half when the car is started from cold and sits idle.
it reaches pretty close to half though. the water goes up and down. when it goes up it pops. after 30min the air popping wasnt as sevear but the water did go up then go down . when i put some coolant to top it off the water would go up then down eventally resting.after 40minutes the water was sort of jumping. no air thoug. after an hour i turned the enigne off and all the coolant at the top went quickly to the bottom i had to fill the radiator with more coolant. turned the enine on this time the water didnt go up and down as sevearly as before.
