Turning on the A/C turns on the electric fan, thus cooling the engine extra on non-hot days or at freeway speeds. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
Now when are you going to change the picture in your signature? Besides your sig being excessive and kinda getting old, I heard this one was bigger: http://www.californiafords.com/album/00000040/image219.jpg

the A/C will put a load on your engine and therefore the overall heat of the system will eventually increase. However, the A/C is usually tied to spin the fan as st5150 says. Generally speaking, the fan will aid cooling.
but if the fan is already on, the A/C will bring the heat up. Why? 2nd law of thermodynamics.
