A car is more likely to overheat with the AC on because the AC radiator is in front of the cars radiator expelling heat. so if the engines cooling system is operating near capacity for some reason the heat coming from the AC can be just enough to tip it over the edge. The engine also has to work a Little harder while the Ac is running which would not help either.
Yes, low coolant will cause it to overheat without the AC; that is not the only reason that will cause overheating however.
The most likely cause is an inoperative radiator fan.
cause you need a fan clutch, it is part of the engine fan. By Hector C. EPT
One cause of a cars air conditioning to brake is the temperature of the air conditioner. Using to much cold air at a certain amount of time can damage your air conditioner.
It may sound funny but until the cars out of gas as long as the engine doesn't overheat and the cooling fans are working correctly and the system is properly charged.........
Any time an air conditioner smells I tell people to try changing the in cabin air filter. most cars its behind your glove box and not costly. good luck.
Freon for your cars air conditioner

A bad alternator will cause a battery to go bad. It does not have an effect on the air conditioner.
you use freon to cool your car and make the air conditioner work
There is no such thing as and air-conditioner accumulator in an automobile. A nonworking air-conditioner compressor can cause a cooling malfunction.
We are afraid to use the unit 24 hours because it might cause to overheat .What is really the cause of overheating?
