Default what do you think would be better

I'm putting on an auxilliary fan with a thermostat in addition to engine driven.
do you all think it would be better to put it on front of the a/c condenser rad to push air, or put it behind the radiator pulling air? no real difference either way i don't think. wondering if anyone else has added one on.
thanks

First you need to see if it is a pusher or puller fan.

It will depend on the angle of the blades.

If you can mount it outside the condenser.

the fan can be either a pusher or puller. i was planning on installing in front of condenser. just wondering if behind the radiator would have been better.

I would put it in the front.
I know you can make them run either way but are the blades angled?
If so then it is usually ment to go one way.
