Why would you want to do that?
There is a reason for allowing the engine to get up to operating temp before the fans turns on to maintain that temp.

Re: Cooling both fans to run at same time

the current surge of both fans starting together might
cause the ignition to hiccup for a second,so best way
would be to run the two fans connected together using
an electronc varible speed fan control so the fans ramp
up to speed when triggered,avoiding the startup current
surge.
