Re: fan into shroud quest
Typically the fan is positioned inside the shroud with the blades width centered half inside and half outside.

Re: fan into shroud quest
Depends on what fan blade your running. Some aftermarket fans are designed to pull alot of air. Do a simple test... Take a tissue and put it in front of your radiator. If it sticks you are probably pulling enough air to cool your motor.

Re: fan into shroud quest
You want to position the fan in the shroud as RazinCayne stated.If to far out you lose airflow thru the radiator/condensor(makes a noticeable difference if you have A/C.
