Electric Fan

Anyone running an electric fan on their '73-79? What are you running? I am looking for a setup that bolts on to the existing radiator without any modification.

Sounds good; I found a pretty decent setup that I'm going with. Does anyone have recommendations about a temperature sensor to switch it off and on? I'd like to find one of those idiot light sending units that grounds when the coolant is above a certain temperature. I'd like to have something like that to ground the coil of the fan relay. Anyone have suggestions?
