The stock electric fan is a secondary fan for the A/C. Your engine will hate you in this Texas heat if you only run that fan.

Bad idea.
Keep the stock clutch fan and shroud.
i think it runs cooler with clutch fan gone and electric fan...

I have no clutch fan, an aftermarket radiator with an aftermarket electric fan and no shroud, never overheats.
Last wednesday while I was outside it was 109 in the shade.
I drive the car 120 miles round trip four days a week. and the rest just around town maybe 35 to 60 miles.
Idk about it running cooler, but it certainly runs just fine.(normal operating temps)
