Mounting a switch somewhere in inside sounds like a good idea.

btw, how much hp does removing the clutch fan free up?

Yea I am gonna have to do this soon, my clutch is done for. I know what fans I'll be using, but I am still debating wether or not to use a temp switch.

OK, so lets say I remove the clutch fan and install an electric fan or two. What should I wire them to so that they remain on all the time. I am hearing headlight relay, switch on the inside, etc. what do you think would be the best and easiest to wire it to?

I know what you are talking about, its not on the A/C condenser. But it is hooked up to a harness that is hook up to the A/C.

there's a writeup in NICO about wiring the fan to a temp sensor and also to a switch, or both if you want. i know this site blocks any links made to NICO, so i'm not gonna bother pasting it here, but if you go to the site, search for "electric fan wiring" you'll find the write-up with pics and a schematic of the wiring.

personally, i'd like to have the fan attached to a temp sensor because at highway speeds, you don't need the fan, and you don't have any parasitic HP loss. a switch is OK too, but i think it's better to have it automatic than to have to remember to turn the switch on and off.

i guess to each his own.
