The condenser could be plugged too. If it gets hot just idling then lift that up out of the way and see if that helps. otherwise, have the coolant checked for exhaust fumes. those Northstars are known for blowing heads so much my buddy used to joke about them: "How do you spot a Northstar from a distance" A: The car will be in the junkyard and wont have any body damage...
