RE: 390 running hot..typical?

I recently had the engine fully rebuilt and bored over .030, but essentially stock. I added a new 4 core radiator, running a 180 thermostat, new standard waterpump, good fan shroud, good 5 blade fan, correct 50/50 mix and one 16 oz can of watter wetter. The darn thing runs hot in traffic and always spits into the overflow after shutting down. I have A/C and it's hooked up to the compressor, but I haven't run it yet. Maybe airflow is somewhat restricted by the condenser for the A/C. The fins in it are fine. I'll let out some coolant like was suggested.
This thread, so far...
