Default Half size radiator ok with AC?

I'm needing to replace my radiator soon. Any reason I should NOT get a civic Half size even though I use my AC often??

I use a civic style PWR rad. My car isnt a DD anymore but when it has been on the street, i didnt have any overheating problems, i also have a puller fan on it.

1 fan should cover the half size radiator. No need to get 2 on there. They wouldnt fit

I would use 2 fans, especially if you live in Las Vegas. I live in Raleigh and have 2 pullers and 1 pusher on the radiator side. I also run a turbo so there is more heat under the hood. Everything stays cool with my setup.
