Default Stock fans with aftermarket radiator will it work?

So I'm switching from nitrous to procharger and want to know if using the stock fbody fans on my new aftermarket aluminum radiator will be successful in keeping the car cool.

I purchased a new radiator and trimmed the shroud and fits decent I think I just want to get your opinions on if it should work well together.

Here are a couple of pics.







Here are some of the procharger mocked up.

throw some weather stripping in between them and try to seal it up.

For the record, you should use an OEM style fan whenever you get the chance.

Haven't played in a while. I bought that box to try out a couple of markers I was messing with.
