I would not run your setup without an accurate engine coolant temperature gauge. The gauge in your dash might show that temps are in the normal range, but "normal" can be a 35 degree swing without any movement of the needle.
My TSX runs the cooling fans at 215 F, but the factory gauge shows no difference at that temperature as 180 F.
Running the cooling fan will negate the benefit of blocking the grill. Find some way to either accurately monitor coolant temps, or notify you when cooling fans engage.
