In my 87 I found the oil temp getting uncomfortably high even though it was cool inside while in traffic so I lowered the oil cooler blower temp switch setpoint. Like you though, have to wait until summer to test it.
BTW, I see you went with the Nippondenso I went with the Sanden.
Cheers,
Instead of adding a trinary switch you could tape and insulate one of these to rear lid condenser inlet fitting. Don't know what temperature "trigger" level to suggest, some experimentation is due.

Strange as may seem the heat exchange process become more efficient the greater is the differential between the two mediums. Plus, not need to run the blower/fans unless there is a need.
