Default ... fan configuration... before vs after radiator... push vs pull... recommendations?

... i searched the archives and i couldnt find a definitive answer on what would be the best configuration for me... if you can, please lemme know what you think... thanks...

setup:
94 civic
b18c1
t3/60-1
drag manifold
gsr radiator
no air conditioning
no powersteering

goals:
max cooling efficiency
sufficient engine bay clearance for setup
room to grow (equal length manifold)

... i am planning on going with two slimline fans from either here or pep boys and mounting the passenger side fan to the stock location and the driver side fan before the radiator... any thoughts on the positioning of these fans?... also, with regards to push/pull, the fans should be configured to draw in exterior ambient air to cool the radiator, correct... so push or pull as neccessary, right?...

... thanks in advance for taking the time to read...

i just took the ac condenser fan off and mounted it in front of the condensor, but still drawing the air the same way through it.

just took a road trip and it works very well highway and in town. i will probably upgrade to a slim line from pep boys for $65 when i get more $$ to spend.
