Couple questions/problems

When I am running the heater in my 91 SE, the air is nice and warm when I am accelerating or running at high speeds, but when the RPMs are low like when going through residentials or 40mph zones, the air gets cooler. It doesn't stay hot like it should. I have to rev it back up to get it hot. What could the problems be? Also, I hear a clicking noise when I turn the car off and it is cooling down. The sound doesn't happen when I turn it on or when I am driving, just after I shut the engine off it clicks for a while. Is that normal, or something to check out? Haven't opened the hood to see if I can hear where it's from, just want to find out if anyone elses' does that. Thanks
