Dual 12" fans or stock fan?
My car is a 1985 Camaro that came stock with one large (not sure the diameter) fan. I swapped out the motor for a 383, brand new water pump, 180 F thermostat, no A/C, new 3 core radiator.
The radiator came with dual 12" fans that I was planning on using, one running from the computer and the other either on a temperature sending unit or on a switch I could manually turn on and off.
Now that I have everything installed, I'm wondering if I'd be better off just sticking with the stock fan - can bolt it right on and be done. If I go with the dual ones, I have to mount, worry about wiring, etc. But...I want to do whatever is going to work best. Any thoughts?

My stock one works great. I set it up so its always on and my car runs right at when the thermostat opens.
