That's fine and probably better overall.  But i'm just saying for plowing or low speed operation, a crank driven clutch fan brings in more air than an electric.

The purpose of the cooling system is tom maintain temperatures not make the engine cold. The most efficient cooling system works with electric cooling fans.

raising the rear of the hood could help but if you dont want to do that perhaps you can just get rid of the seal at the back of the hood to let some heat out. and the heater on full blast will surely help.

then you could just take your hood off.
