Would a clogged radiator create over heating but blow cold air when the heat is turned on?

Yes, they are not even connected. The radiator works as a heat exchanger. The water stores heat taken from the engine, then releases it through the radiator. The heating system on most cars take heated water from the car's cooling system, channels it into a heater core located in the cabin, and a fan blows the heat released from the core, into the vehicle. With the heater on, the car should actually, in theory, run slightly cooler. If your heater does not blow cold, and if your car overheats, you probably have blockage somewhere in the system
