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.
