There is only one fan and it’s driven by a drive belt off the crank pulley. Infrared thermometer is not an accurate way of measuring the engine coolant temp. Best way is looking at the ecm data.
The ac system and the engine cooling system are two different systems. The only overlap between the two systems is the fan and fan clutch. The fan cools the condenser and the radiator. The engine coolant and the ac system never meet at any point.
Your heater core coolant flow valve could also be not closed all the way causing your ac to be warm.
