Isn't the fan supposed to go on the other side of the radiator? Fans work better if they pull air not push air right?

Puller is usually better then a pusher. If you can mount it inside the bay to pull through the radiator, I'd go that route. It has to do with the radiator resisting the flow after the air had been accelerated by the fan that causes a bit of a bottle neck, plus the ram air effect when driving forward isn't hampered by a puller, it actually complements it.

There's also less exposure to driving rain inside the engine bay on the fan motor and wiring.

Ouch, I don't know how that will cool your beast in the summer months in the DEEP SOUTH. You will have VERY cold AC though!!.

I don't think that fan was made to be a pusher.
