It's a nice point whether the frontal area of a shroud restricts the airflow
through the radiator thus overly reducing the cooling when the fan is not
running. If the fan works well there's no problem, that's what it's there
for! Certainly since I fitted a pusher fan some years ago I have had no
cooling problems even in the 90F traffic jams that we get here in Southern
France in the summer holidays, and even on hot days a sustained forward
speed above 10-15mph is enough to keep the rad temp normal without the fan
running.
The fan I fitted was lifted from a Citroen BX and came with a shroud which
coincidentally was the exact width of the radiator which made it easy to
have a neat, simple and solid attachment to the rad itself.
