I replaced my original radiator after 200K miles. You might want to take a garden hose and blast through the radiator from the engine compartment outward. I do this every time I replace the Timing Belt The Fan is out of the way to make it easier You will be surprised how much crap gets stuck in the fins of the radiator. It might be enough to not keep up with the AC..
I couldn't hurt to try it.
