If the inlet duct is airtight,the static pressure differential across the heat-exchanger matrix will induce the flow.Some 1/4-inch hardware cloth ahead of the radiator could help distribute the turbulent air more evenly across the core if the air was attempting to hug one side.
Ideally.you'd have a gentle,divergence.
