Electric fan convert? Throtle body cleaning? 200 1981

Hello all.. i have a couple of questions to ask.

I have my mechainical fan/shrowd out of my 240 and was planning to do the electric fan conversion. But i have read places that this might not be a good things to do (for reliablity reasons). I'm still intrested in doing it though, what's your opinion? Will i see many gains from it?

Also i've been wanting to fix bad startups (in winter espcially) It will start then die after 1 second this repeats 2-4 times in winter, it starts after the 1st try i warmer weather, what's causing this?
I've also been wanting to clean the thrtole body as many say it's a good thing to do, are there any instruction on the net how to do this? I have a parts car with a B23E motor (same as mine) so i can practice on that, or take any needed parts.
I just wanted to say thanks for all the help brickboard has given me, my car almost has it's bodykit installed, is getting a better exhaust system and swaybars. It should be a different drive when it finally leaves the garage (can't wait to get it out)!
Geoff
