i could be wrong here but when my AC is running my radiator fan is on 100% of the time even if the engine is cold. The problem may be your radiator fans may have an issue.

This is true. As soon as you turn the air on the fans should come on. Sit at park and try this. Stand outside and monitor the fans to see how long they run till they turn off. Im sure as soon as they turn off you'll get warm air hence no air flow moving through the condenser.
I suspect you have tired fan motors as well.
