Anyone ever put A.C. in a 66 /6 Valiant? What did you do for a cooling fan?

Eight or ten years ago I installed an A/C kit into a '66 Dart GT with slant 6. I used a good radiator and I was fortunate to find a fan from a factory A/C slant car. Five blade. Worked fine. Additionally, I built a fan shroud for the radiator and that helps-probably. The homemade shroud was not the best fit. I had difficulty getting a good shroud fit so it may have been less than a great air flow.

I currently drive a'63 Dart wagon with slant and three speed stick on the column. No A/C yet. I installed a new aluminum radiator. Original four blade fan. Never a temp issue, even in 90+ degrees F. Seems to me that these slants are hard to overheat. Others may disagree, I don't know.
