Putting in a different radiator fan or small clutch fan
Is it okay if i put in a different radiator fan or put in a clutch fan to avoid higher temp ? Since my fan kicks in at 100 degrees it goes fast first and slow down then stop then after a minute same cycle goes on ... since my ac compressor is also i guess busted even if its new it wont accept refrigerant

i just want to use my car without overheat issues since i do late night driving to cure my depression so wanna do some remedies and do on the aircon issues later on

Did you read any of the responses to your previous dozen posts on the subject? Your fan behavior is perfectly normal. It's supposed to turn on at 100c then cycle up and down as needed.

if you insist on doing this why not just a manual switch to override the thermostat? Thermostat is probably normally open, and closed when it hits 100C. If you put a switch in parallel, you can activate it manually from the cockpit.
