Default Need a push fan for A/C. Please help

My car has a B16 and my fan is hooked up to my radiator cooling fan, making it perform double duty.
I live in Phx. It's 9am and 90 degrees out. I need my A/C. I need a seperate fan, otherwise I overheat while the car is sitting. It's going to have to be a push fan for clearance issues. How big of a fan can I fit in there?

I know a guy w/ both '98 GS fans. Can they be hooked up to negative polarity to become a push fan? Would they fit?

If they won't work, where can I get thinline push fans

Thanks

I looked at flex-a-lite, but wasn't sure how big of a fan would fit on the front of the radiator. WHat about those GS fans?
I'll check them, but I'd rather not spend $3-$400 on a new fan right now.

How much amp draw is the stock A/C fan?

or you can use a pull type from FAL. I think they're like $120.00 or so. look in the performance/sponsor section. I got mine from the Whip factory here on HT

i have an a/c rad fan that came off my jdm front end...I can give em to you for free...just pay for shipping and handling ($25). Although I'm not sure if it'll mount to a usdm radiator because I tried to use the radiator itself and the mounting holes for my stock fan wont line up...but they'll work with minor mods.

I would get a bigger radiator. Putting a fan in front of the radiator is going to reduce air flow at speed.

I already have a full length radiator. It goes from headlight to headlight. My buddy just told me to go w/ a Fluidyne. I'm not made of money.

Nobody's answered if the fans hook up fine w/ negative polarity.
