How to trigger independent A/C condenser fan?

I'm moving the A/C condenser off the radiator and mounting with its own cooling fan. The radiator fans will no longer pull air through the condenser in this new configuration.

Any ideas how to trigger this additional fan using the ECU? I could go the simple route and trigger fan with relay connected to compressor clutch, but I would rather have the fan logic turn on/off with freon pressure.

You will find that the fan will run 90% of the time the clutch is on so I would just do it that way. There is no fear of cooling the condensor too much.
