Some questions and problems

Stock temp stat is I believe 180 deg. And the TSRM recommends (and I advise) cutting the jiggle valve off the stat before reinstalling it.

A fully intact fan shroud along with the splash-guard across the bottom of the engine compartment both assist in keeping engine temps where they should be. If your shroud is broken then air which should be going through the radiator is traveling above it.

And my personal opinion is keeping a stock fan setup is far easier and simpler than going to an all electric unit for the sake of what, 2 hp?

As far as your other problems, sounds like a vacuum leak (or possibly an I/C leak) and a bad master cylinder unless you find some sign of a significant fluid leak.
