Yup. Four rows should do the trick, but make sure your pull-up blind is in good working order for those cool SoCal January nights ;-). But seriously, I had a two-blade fan develop a fatigue crack + wobble out in the middle of nowhere between Barquisimeto and Valencia in Venezuela, i.e., ambient temperatures well above 90. I removed the fan and drove about sixty miles on, what would here be considered, secondary, rural roads. The thing never boiled till I stopped to have the fan welded. But it is not just the efficiency of the cooling system, it's also a matter of how much heat punishment these engines can take. When I had that coolant loss I mentioned in my earlier reply, the engine got so hot that large blotches of the paint turned brown and in some places actually burned off. Not only was it still running after I taped up the hose and refilled with water, when I had the engine checked at a Volvo shop they couldn't find anything that needed attention besides an oil change , a new set of hoses and a new temp gauge. They did a tune-up for the sake of our mutual morale.
