that's normal with these cars. They always had cooling problems, unless you got an aluminum radiator and updated the coolant tank.
Now go get a coolant funnel, with the little stopper, and fill your car with coolant while its cold. Then turn the car on and put all of the electrical loads on and wait for the fans to kick on. That means the t-stat has come on. Presto chango! Your cooling system has been bled and everything works fine.
Also, put them heatsheilds back on.
