Electric fan conversion - 2 questions not answered 200 1987

I searched and read all of the posts on electric fan conversion but there are 2 questions I have that were not answered by the archives:

1. Do you need the HD 3 row radiator to do the conversion? I have the Blackstone Volvo radiator - I think this is the one with the plastic tank.

2. Do any of you run it all the time and how does it affect alternator charging and battery charge? I have read only one post of one of you guys doing this (he wired it to start from a signal from the ignition). If you run it all the time do any of you have hard cold starts?

I will be going to U-Pull-It tommorrow to look for fans.

Thanks.
