Pusher fan and A/C

Now that I have A/C in the J20 it runs just a bit warmer on hot days, I had the thought of putting a pusher fan in front of the condenser with a relay hooked up to the A/C clutch circuit so it operates when the clutch turns on. Has anyone tried it? Anyone think it would help?

I was also planning on doing this, curious to see what others think.

I run a large pusher on my condenser and it works great. I'm also running a 454 chubby.

Let's see you setups, mounting, fan used, wiring, controls etc. I may do it as an A/C only, or put a temp sensor on for if it happens to get hot without A/C, it did once towing before I had A/C.

I put two 10" pushers in front of my condenser, wired to come on with the AC and a separate thermal switch. It worked great, even in 100+ temps sitting in traffic.
