First NORTHSTAR ( 1992 ) engines were quite troublesome, from faulty starters ( in the middle of the engine ) to loss of oil pressure.

SOURCE: Overheating

Many items need assessment. First what is THE COOLANT LEVEL enine running from cold start. IF LOW . Is there a coolant leak and where ? Lets say all of the previous check OK. ARE THE COOLING FANS OPERATING ? . They are , GREAT. Is it possible the cooling system ( i.e. radiator ) is clogged internally, or blocked exterior cooling fins of the radiator restricting cooling air. Hope this helps.

Have you unhooked the battery since you put the freon in? If not, do it.

SOURCE: oil pump replacement

The pump is located in the pan you have to remove the transmission bolts out and raise the engine up with an engine stand and remove oil pan bolts and remove pump, it's quite a job.
