I think you would be better off with an alt delete.
The electric coolant pump and alt delete don't go together real well.

Could be true, HOWEVER I can tell you from experience that alt delete requires significant $$ for battery if you want to be able to drive any decent distance. That can cost far more than an e-fan.
I've had success with an e-fan conversion. Volvo 240, a 3000 lb. boxy wagon with 115 hp engine so any load removed from the engine was a real help. I had that auto-tranny beast up around 29-30 mpg in summer; the EPA said 19 mpg.
And at a local car show, I saw a guy with Shelby Cobra (I think it was a conversion/kit car... ). He had a couple e-fans switched the same as mine: Temp switch in the lower hose (return). We both agreed that's the only way to go unless your computer has an output to drive the fan.
