Default Improving airflow

So let me start off by saying my car does not overheat. Going down the road it runs 173-177. Sitting still with the AC off it never goes over 183 even when its 95 degrees out. Here is the situation involving AC. If I get stuck in traffic or idle with the AC on the temp creeps. I posted about this before but I have found the "problem" I just need to see if I am out of options. Yesterday I got stuck in downtown Clemson and it creeped up to 197 over the course of 20 minutes. I turned the AC off and it immediately stopped and went back to about 188 before I started moving again. When I got stuck at the other end of town same situation with AC but this time I used my foot to raise the idle to 1200-1500 and it stopped creeping. So it is obviously an airflow issue. I have the 15 inch Cold Case HD radiator. 18 inch clutch fan and Hayden severe duty fan clutch. Have I exhausted all my options or can I do something to make the air flow better to stop this totally? A bigger fan will not fit in that shroud and the shroud is sealed to the radiator with strip insulation
