IMNHO I'd go w a large new alum rad (maybe a dual pass) and a good ole fashioned MP thermal clutch fan spaced 3/4 into a well sealed shroud w a 180 stant/milodon stat w a 1/16" bleed hole and a edel or milodon WP live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Stock is best, Alum radiator maybe, but keep the rest stock like was said above. 7 blade clutch fan, you can thank us later.

I like electric fans, but it can be hard or expensive to find one that moves enough air. None of the after market ones I tried did very well. The oem types that have been listed always seem to be better. Just depends on how much room you have. I also use a dual pass cross flow rad from 4secondsflat.com Since yours is a manual you don't need the trans cooler anyway.
