Default Overheating only with ac on

My car doesn't overheat when the ac is not on. Even on an hour of driving in the middle of a hot day, but once i run the ac for about half an hour the temp will slowly increase.
First time it happened, i quickly checked for any coolant leak. Only to found out the reservoir was empty. Hoping that's the only problem so i filled it up. Then the next day the same thing happened, once i run the ac. Temp goes up and empty reservoir.

The parts that i replaced within a year are radiator, hoses, cap, thermostat, water pump and headgasket. Any ideas?

TIA

Mine did that once. After awhile it seemed to do without the AC. It turned out to be a head stud loosened.

i properly torqued my arp headstuds and i don't see why it would only overheat with the ac on. hope that's not the case.

same issue happened to me too

but mine does something even weirder.
I get a huge load on my motor when the a/c is on
vacuum is like 15 inches/Hg and car vibrates like mad.
