I replaced the thermostat and the radiator and it still runs hot only faster than
before. Can I remove the thermostat and still have the air condition run and
not overheat?

Before removing thermostat try bleeding air from system like this. Remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle you will notice level in tank start to rise this is normal once thermostat starts to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on.
