Also check the A/C condenser for flattened cooling fins, obstructions around the air intake, and consider a CAI (cold air intake, or "less hot" in this case).
I don't recommend it for long term, but you can remove the weatherstrip on the front of the hood to get a little more airflow. At least for one day to see if it changes the gauge readings.
Heat soaking in general has been an issue for these cars, because the heat from the fans goes right to the upper intake manifold.
And try to keep the gas tank at least 1/2 full, to help keep the fuel pump cool.
