We perform Shell Model Monte Carlo calculations of selected N=Z pf-shell nuclei with a schematic hamiltonian containing isovector pairing and quadrupole-quadrupole interactions. Compared to realistic interactions, this hamiltonian does not give rise to the SMMC ``sign problem'', while at the same time resembles essential features of the realistic interactions. We study pairing correlations in the ground states of N=Z nuclei and investigate the thermal dependence of selected observables for the odd-odd nucleus Co54 and the even-even nuclei Zn60 and Ni60. Comparison of the present results to those with the realistic KB3 interaction indicates a transition with increasing temperature from a phase of isovector pairing dominance to one where isoscalar pairing correlations dominate. In addition, our results confirm the qualitative reliability of the procedure used to cure the sign problem in the SMMC calculations with realistic forces.
