  Sorry I missed this post.
  I originally installed the fan backward before the restoration.  While I had
the body off and the luxury to fool around with it I found that it is not
necessary to mount backwards.  I moved the radiator forward as much as it
would go and the fan cleared the bottom of the tank by about 1/8".  As I said,
I had the luxury to fool with this so I decided to trim a little off the
blades of the fan to increase the clearance.  Others that I know that have
done this did not trim the fan and they are fine.
  Elongate the holes then it is pretty easy to set up with the fan on and drop
the radiator into place and slip on the upper hose.  Slip the braces on
loosely to be sure the radiator is at the right angle and rotate the fan to
see what you have.
