Default Overheating 2.3L 1988 Mustang LX

Have an 88 Mustang LX and it has always had to have the vent or AC on in the warmer months to keep the engine cool. Is there something I can do to correct this or is this inheritant with the Mustangs?

PS.. thanks for the help on the timing belt it went on and as some of you had said the valves were ok..

sounds like a circuit went bad or somthing the only thing i can think of is that when you turn on your ac your fan kicks on so maybe the relay that makes your fan turn on when your ac is of is bad.
