Just remember that these vehs run hot. You have a big steel box with an engine stuck in the middle of it with very little air flow. A lot of pictures show the back two engine covers removed. This helps a lot with letting the heat out. Ive run my carrier without an oil cooler and it didn't overheat.

The rad fan does a really good job of moving the air along and a lot of hot air goes out the grill on the back of the deck. Its also a great place to dry wet socks. It would be a tight fit to get an extra fan under that grill as the air cleaner is right there.

One thing to remember is that these machines ran fine the heat of North Africa without electric fans or other mods so they should run just fine in our climates. plus it wouldn't be a true carrier experience if you had a/c in it.
