You are overheating because you have a cracked reservoir. Turning on AC just makes you overheat faster due to the added load on the engine. Old racing trick, if you are overheating, blast the heat on full, and it will give you some time.

Unlikely. You should have a huge mechanical fan that provides most provides you cooling needs. Only in extreme cases would your engine need more cooling than it could provide.

Agreed, AC might have just helped it along, as far as overheating.
