Default Computer pin help

Alright I got a question for you ls1 computer savvy guys out there. So I have a carb swap in my ls1 (I know the devils work to guys like you lol), and I need a little help with getting my cooling fans to operate again since it doesn't see that my car is running since I run a msd box and and my crank and cam sensor don't go to the factory computer no longer.

So my question is how do I get my coolant fans operational again with out using a switch. I know that the factory ECM grounds the fans to turn them on. Any ideas on how to get my fans to come on again by using a temp sensor to still activate my fans?

Ok gonna give a bump here along with another question. I know that pin 42 and pin 33 on my ECM when grounded turn on my high speed and low speed fans (I don't member which one which at the moment, I look at the PCM pinout again). My question is can I just ground those wires so that my fans will always run when I jut turn the car on, or will it make them run all the time even when the key isn't on? Any help would be appreciated

If you ground them, the fans will run all the time. Just get an aftermarket controller and be done with it.
