Overheating issues on 86 Lincoln Town car?

I have changed the water pump, thermostat and hoses and the car was running fine until the other night I had the ac on and once I turned the car of there was steam coming from the compressor area and now the car runs hot I have no leaks any where and cannot find the culprit any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I know they were known for head gaskets going bad, that may be it.

I there coolant in the oil? I would look.

did you put the thermostat in the correct way? Is the coolant circulating? Water in your oil? Could be a head gasket.
