i had a simmilar problem.... the top holes i made fit, so i could screw them in, i just zip tied the bottom on, did that about 6 months ago, no issues

yes you need the shroud. Cut it to fit. Use some plummers strap or zipties to fasten it or, if nothing else, some through the core mounts...

i am on a stock radiator right now with no fan shroud, because i figured it would be ok, and if it wasnt, id change it. no big deal. And under usual running conditions, it does fine.

and it has been 90+ degrees here lately too, but at the last autox i attended, for a brief time my coolant was boiling in the reservoir, but it cooled down enough for me to be able to finish the event.

best idea would be to get an electric fan, that way you can ditch the shroud and mechanical fan.

so yeah, use the shroud if you still have the mecahnical fan.
