So you have a 10" 'pusher' and no fan on the crank?  I suppose it
will
depend on what traffic condtions & temperatures you drive in but that
sounds
like barely enough for a hot day in town.

Was there some particular
reason why you eliminated the TR6 fan in the stock
position?  In my experience
that fan (or better yet a Tropical fan) makes a
big difference in really hot
(100F+) weather.
