URGENT!! Will a 12" el. fan cool well enough??Plz help! 700 1988

Hey all,

Well, as you guessed i am wondering if a 12" electric cooling fan will suck enough air from the radiator, (constantly on), and if it isn't, if i just leave the 12" fan in and let the "extra" el. fan (in front of radiator) do the extra work, does everyone think it will cool enough for 20 degree (celcius) temperatures? If i am going to be in traffic, it'll only be for under 10 minutes, usually....The reason why i've suddenly decided to convert is that my standard mech. fan clutch is only what i can describe as "not working", the fan barely spins at all..... So i pulled it all off, and since i had a 12" el. fan off a Saab 900, i decided that'd work fine for teh time....Does anyone have any thoughts, ideas, etc, that i should be attending to??? Thanks all,

Az.

P.S. I will change to a 16" fan if everyone thinks it'll be neccesary!
