Thanks for the replies, after speaking with a few of my car friends and your input I am confident I will be fine with just the cooler and bypassing the radiator. The bigger issue with my set up was the 22" radiator only allowed for a 15" fan with a shroud.

The 26 will allow a 18" fan that was the original to the engine.
