I think Ron would know best, as he's done lots of research on the fan issue, but I THINK it goes something like this... comp cars had no fan, S/Cs had a single fan, street cars had the dual fans. Some S/Cs were probably converted to dual fan at some point as well.

On my car, I have the Spal 16 puller fan, and the dual pushers. I had the Spal go bad, and the dual pushers were definitely not enough by themselves. However, I had the ciruit overheat (all three were on one circuit) and I rewired them seperate and had to replace the Lucas relay for the pushers, and I can tell you that the 16" puller by itself, does not cool as well as all three together. So I run all three together and my car runs cool as can be even in 100* air.
