Re: OEM fan vs aftermarket fans
LOL, not sure what the amperage, [at what RPM] your alt. is, only way to know for sure is to have it tested, most alt./batt. shops will do that for free, only takes a few minutes.
Without knowing what the electrical load is in your car it would be hard to say what size alt. you should have, if all you are adding is the two fans then you do not need to go more then 40A bigger then stock.
I would recommend you get the car on the road with any mods you are going to do and then get a proper load check done, it will tell you if the alt. can keep up or if you need a bigger one and how much bigger it needs to be.
BTW I end all my posts with 94. 94
