YEa im in houston its hot. but i think it will be okay. the elec fan is on the pass side of the rad so im going to install another on the driver side to a manual switch just for a back up...

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 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)
