I ran my car for awhile without one. Didn't notice a difference. I did put it back, figure it doesn't hurt pushing the air through the radiator, instead of around it.

Why would you think it would run cooler? They are still turned on by the temperature sensor. Having both fans turn on would increase efficiency, but probably wouldn't reduce the temps unless the one fan is being over worked.

If you want lower temps, you will need a lower temp thermostat as well as to reset the on and off temps for the fans.
