I'm having a huge problem with it overheating but only when the a/c is on. I just had the water pump replaced and the thermostat. I have noticed that when it starts to overheat the air from the a/c vents gets a tad bit warmer.Could this possibly be that the compressor is starting to fail and causing the vehicle to overheat?

When your a/c is on and its warm out your electric fan should come on to cool down your condenser. I would check to see if the fan is comming on.

Have you confirmed your electric fans are running when the a/c is on? It sounds like the best place to start.
