That is correct. The later vans will also turn off the compressor on high
coolant temp.

Clarification -- assuming my '84 is wired correctly, fan is on low speed
when compressor is on.  If coolant temp in radiator is too high, fan goes
into high speed mode and compressor shuts off until radiator returns to
normal operating temp.
