John, I have the same set up. Black 87 Spider. The fan is controlled by a 
temperature sensor attached to the fan shroud inside the engine compartment 
as well as by the AC compressor. In other words, in addition to being turned 
on by the AC, the thermostat is controlled by ambient temperature under the 
hood. I guess the idea is to keep exhaust heat from damaging rubber parts, 
hood paint, etc. My fan sometimes stays on for 10 or 15 minutes, especially 
on a hot day when parked over hot asphalt or in the sun. I will usually try 
to lift the hood to let it cool down, that is if I am parking somewhere where 
I dont have to worry about vandalism. With the  hood up it will usually shuo 
off in less than 5 minutes.
