Air flow through the rad w/ fans?

[dlampe]

On a GT 40 the air needs to flow through the radiator and out, up over the windshield. My question is about the fans. Do they block a lot of air? This air flow creates some down force on the car and I would like to keep this area clear but I might need the fans at low speed around town. Should I make the whole fan assembly a quick disconnect or am I over thinking it?

I would post a picture but the files are too large.

Hey dlampe, after your great Kit Car article everybody is afraid to talk to you!
Or maybe there aren't enough GT40 owners out here to give you a good answer.
But it sure makes sense that your airflow would be much better if the fans would be out of the way on a high-speed track.

I think that the necessity of the fans outweighs any advantage losing them would give you.... maybe a motorised fan mounting that disappears at the flick of button!... no I'm only joking.
