Default gsr in 98 civic over heating

hey i got a civic with a gsr swap and when the car sits and idles theres no issue but when i drive it with the ac on it starts to over heat. both fans work. i got plenty of coolant in there and both hoses are hot. then today when i drove it without the ac on it started to overheat again..im not sure what it is. i was leaning towards the thermostat possibly not opening right and sticking but both hoses are hot..any help is greatly appricated.thanks
