The A/C compressor activates the driver's side radiator fan...with the A/C off, only the passenger side fan is normally running. When I turned off the A/C (and the driver's side fan shut down), the engine temps climbed 15F to 230F.
Vented hood and better fans = win

I agree, but having a clean looking vented hood is another story...
