Mark,
  I'll do two sends so you get the picture and one to the list.  I used a 
Mercedes Benz pusher fan. These are found in multitudes at self serve 
wrecking yards. I think I paid about $15 for mine.
  I mounted it to the body works so the radiator could be removed without it 
interfering. It has been a number of years, but I recall finessing it in 
without removing the radiator (but I can't say for sure).
  I've not run the car yet so I can't account for the effectiveness.  Also, 
I'm not sure how much I would detect with the engine running, but when I ran 
the fan by itself I did notice it humming a bit due to the mounting to the 
body. While not using isolated mounts, I did use rubber on the bolts to 
limit the vibrations.
