Yeah you have to add a peice of sheetmetal and either bolt it or weld it to the existing bracket. I dont have any pics of the bracket off the car but the write up on how to make it shows a good idea of what you need to do. You need to make sure you use enough shims no less or too many can cause issues. My buddy had issues with his on the bracket he made and had to shim it. Use a small pulley as the idler on top do not use a bigger one that you see sometimes on the AC delete pulleys which is what I originally used and then stepped down to a small pulley which made a world of difference in lining up and space under the hood. The belt you need to use is one off a Honda S2000.

Also, I mounted the shroud and welded the bung on this past weekend. I hooked it up to my battery to see how well the fan would move air. I had some paper and it stuck to the radiator with the fan going, in the middle and on the far corners, so i hope the fan will be sufficient.

I can't believe that 2 pushers at 5200 cfm wouldn't cool it, that's moving a LOT of air.
BTW, your set-up is sick!

9000? I read somewhere it is closer to 4000, but I honestly have not found a straight answer to how much they pull. I sure hope it is, if not I can always re-use my stockers, I'd just rather not. They aren't the best looking fans I have ever seen haha. I have seen some peoples set-ups running a single 16" fan with no shroud, and a turbo in the engine bay and they claim it cools. My car is NA, and will probably stay that way, other than spraying it again.

You are correct about it going to the oil cooler. I capped my radiator at that nosel then pulled out the WP nozzle and plugged it with a freeze plug.

Unfortunately I did not get to do the alternator relocation. I had to replace the power steering pump and ran out of time. I think the radiator turned out nice. I drove the car an hour and a half this evening, at idle it sat at 170, while cruising with the fan off it runs about 185, according to the stock gauge. I have a 4 year old 160 t-stat in it, and a worn out electric waterpump. Sorry for the picture quality, my phone kinda sucks. And sorry about the dirty engine bay haha
