Default A/C fan quetion

Finally going to get the a/c fixed in the ram. It came from the factory with it but there is not a electric fan by the condensor. Should I put an aftermarket puller in there or would that block to much from the clutch type radiator fan and cause overheating?

Better to remove the clutch style & go all electric otherwise add nothing.

thanks for the feedback, I am still a little scared of the e-fans. Do you guys keep your old fan with you just in case?

I used leftover fans from a bonneville i used to own with an upper hose splice in adapter to accomodate the screw in type fan switch. I also installed an over ride switch on the dashboard but rarely ever use it. I got rid of the shroud but did cut thin sections out of it then turned them around & screwed them in to make a good spot to relocate both resiviors. There is now a Ton of room to do stuff under the hood. search my handle to see the wiring diagram i used. My truck runs way Cooler without the shroud.

Sorry if my ramblings were vague, would a aux. e fan on my condensor block too much air flow to my radiator?
Just looking for insight
