cooling question

if i put a fan in front of the radiator will i help cool it even more because on the turbo II if you take the a/c condensor ou there is a electirc fan still there so if i leave it on and wire it to a switch that you can turn on and off in the car will it cool it faster or is it just a waste of time?

put a fan in front of the radiator would block wind from hitting the radiator at cruising speeds on the interstate (one would think)
it would be waste of time and probably detrimental to the cooling system... I may be wrong though
cooling fan is pretty much only used at stops.. like at stop lights when air isn't flowing through radiator...

Green's right, fans don't increase the system's cooling capacity, they just move air through the radiator when there's not enough airflow from forward movement.
