A.C. & Cooling question Flathead V8

Has anyone here added Vintage Air to an F1 with flat V8 and had/ not not had overheat issues? I'm planning on adding it and using a Walker, or other high quality radiator with shroud and puller electric fan. Have also added higher flow water pumps, to a fresh motor. Suggestions, your experience appreciated!

Thank you, great reference! Anyone else have experience with a Flathead using Vintage Air kit and it's pitfalls?
