Default Another Newbie with a problem (AC Overheats Engine)

have 96 f150 Eddie Bauer version with straight six 5 speed 2WD
Running AC makes engine overheat. Also coolant in plastic coolant container looks more like used motor oil.

Flush cooling system, and make sure the radiator and the coil in front of the radiator are clean and clear, and one more thing, check the clutch fan and make sure it is tight to turn, if it is very easy to spin, it might be bad.
