Jim,
Putting the fan in front of the radiator partially blocks the radiator,
inhibiting the flow of air and cooling. A "puller" fan is superior in
performance to a "pusher" in this respect. Since I am concerned about total
amps used for a given amount of cooling, it makes the most sense to install
the most efficient configuration, especially since I am getting rid of the
mechanical fan altogether and have lots of room for a fully shrouded fan.
Thanks for the help though,
Jack
