In your heat, I’d go with morning to mid-day sun.
It also depends upon what you most want to grow. The ‘main crops’ that everyone likes (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant) all like full sun.
BUT there are plenty of other things that grow well in partial sun (salad greens, collards, pole beans) so I guess I would consider what you want to grow in that area first, before you start felling trees.
Check your Growing Zone so you know the number of months you’ll have to grow things too - before it’s TOO hot to do anything outside. USDA updated it for 2023. I’m a tad WARMER which is great for me up here in Wisconsin! (5a)

“morning to mid-day sun.”
yes ... I think that’s the way I am heading.
That would give me full sun on the eastern end and a bit less on the western end.
I can work in the cooler morning sun on the east end ... and work the west as the shade moves in in the evening.
....I think I have that right in my head.
So now ... like you say ... I’ve got to do some “lay out” work.
” Wisconsin!”
I hear you guys grow good pop sickles up there ... 8-)
