single should be fine for a stock NA motor...if you go boost though I would definitely get dual fans.

All depends on how much that fan outputs. . if it's a weak fan than no, and depends on where you live.
I have 1 12" taurus SHO fan, and it'll blow more than most 12" dual fans.

i have a 90 na with about 3k invested in the motor, i took out all my ac so the radiator is getting all the air and the one flex a lite fan works great. although in winter some times it works to good, it'll take it a little lomger to warm up....lol, but for summer time its great.

i dont know the speck on the sho fan but i know it moves enough air to cool serious hp v8 motors... and you can get em cheap at the local junk yard... cheper than a single or dual flexalite electric fan...

I have the single fan but when I'm in gridlock with the A/C on it doesn't blow as cold as if I was moving.
