an electric fan will be needed, some buy the altima fans and use them.
just get one that is big enough and pushes or pulls enough air. i fabbed an electric fan of my own but me car will heat up after some stop and go driving during the summer. also it would be a good idea to replace the thermostat with a lower temp setting.

Typically people just run a set of flex a lite electric fans. It is a pretty easy install but there was a write I saw somewhere of someone wiring the electric fan to just always be on when the car was running which seem to cool the car just fine. I will post up the link if and when I can find it.

im running a kia fan. works fine. no overheating issues. been using it for almost a year. cleans up the bay a bit, frees up a few horses, gets rid of that gay clutch fan sound when accelerating.

So can I use my stock electric fan???? What is that fan for anyways? How would I rig it up so it will turn on when my temp rises?
can I get some links to the writeups if possible?

well, no that's for the a/c you'll need something like flex a lite or fal. like i said some use altima fans, ford torus, pontaic fiero, any electric fan that will move enough air is good.
next you'll need a temp switch.

then get one or two spdt (single pull double throw) relays depending if you use one or two fans. the head light relays happen to be spdt relays so you can use those. read this to wire then up.
