Did you have a thermostat put back in?

Some times a running cold engine can be as bad as a hot one.

Or the radiator fan temp sensor has not been plugged in hence is running full time. Also an option but I would go with the thermostat needing replacing, mite not have been an option before as your radiator was probably quite blocked.

that rings another bell... when AC is removed, if you unplug the sensor the fans run full time. Thats if its running full time.

Both systems run with this fail safe, maybe either one was not plugged back in after removal although the aircon plug should be above the gearbox if its a fwd
