Aircon Fan

Would it be possible to put a fan on my aircon condensor if I am having trouble with the car running hot? I already have 2 fans on the radiator. If i had enough space after installing my intecooler, i'd like to put the condensor back on and install an electric fan on it.
The heat is really affecting me at the moment I can hardly type properly. Are there fans available that trigger on a set temp by themselves?
/heat stroke.

Sorry, I meant the Radiator has two fans on it, however the condensor/aircon-radiator doesnt have any, and its not back on the car yet.
I was hoping it wouldnt over heat now if i put it back on... I really want aircon back!
An aircon place will also have to fix the a/c piping to the compressor etc. and i'll have to get my MicroTech tuner to fix the LTX12 to activate the compressor etc.

On some air con systems the fan is placed on the low or high side of the piping which the gas runs through *from memory*, the fan is there to keep the tempreture down since it may cause damage to the system.
If there is fan there, keep it there as it serves a purpose.
*End of yelling 
Cheers.

Yep, definately put a fan on the A/C - it helps it to obtain cooler temperatures for you in the car (effectively like using a bigger condensor). Also be sure to run your A/C at least once a week, the oil has lubricants in it that stop the seals drying out and perishing. If you're forgetfull, wire the aircon up to activate every time you put the car into reverse, the reverse light switch becomes your activator!
