To my knowledge (which is small compared to many on here) there are two types of fans.....a pusher which would be mounted in front of the radiator, and a puller which is mounted behind the radiator to pull air through...but yes, the hole that is big enough to drive a semi through is a big issue.  It is also a HUGE issue on the older gas engine motorhome.  Need to seal it up to make sure ALL the air that is possible goes THROUGH the radiator.

The lower scoop is in place. I guess I need to figure out what to do with bottom of shroud, mine was always cracked so I cut it off.
 
Thanks, ACE

That lip on the bottom is there to help direct the air UP and into the radiator area. I do not know hohw much a lower valanve costs, but I don't think that they are very much.  Ifyou can, you might look into an entier new lower valance.  just my humble. and probably useless opinion.

Ok here we go again Confused cruzn today and it went to 210 again. I even have the fan shroud and seals installed. I think I'm going to put the aluminum water pump back on N try that. It has been in the upper 90's here the last few days but that should not natter much I hope. My ride today was about an hr total there N back so I am at a loss for sure. Thought I had it fixed, could the electric water pump be the main issue ?  Thanks again guys, I'm becoming a regular here LOL
