Cooling issues 69 Dart GTS 340

Things I've checked out.
stock 2 core radiator
7 blade fan
fan 2 1/4 inches from back of radiator
crank pulley 5.2 inches dia.
fan pulley 6.5 inches dia.
180 thermostat high performance
I have heater core supply line plugged (heater core leaks)
What else should I check or what do I need to change?

Temp climbs if idling
turn off engine temp climbs
Water pump integrity? Also, the temp is initially going to increase after shutting down because the flow and fan are no longer cooling to whatever little degree they were.
