That makes absolutely no sense. Go ahead and pull off your front facia. I'm sure you'll be running plenty cool from all that air hitting the radiator. If you said "small," it would make sense.
Unless the engineers are complete idiots, a large grille allows a large ammount of air into the engine compartment and through the radiator, thus allowing better cooling than a smaller grille. Common sense.

Its not the engineers that are ideots, look at the dodge v8 5.2 pickups out there, the grill is much larger than the radiator. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out design and appearance play a bigger role than what is absolutely necessary. Also many FWD cars get most of their air from UNDER NEITH the car not from the grill.
Also I am certain Ford isn't going to cover your 91 Tempo even if you don't modify it anyway. Most of us are certainly far from the manufacturers warranty.
