Default CSF all metal 3 row OR dirtbound fan setup?

I dont have any real overheating issues. I will get around 220 but the car can maintain it in the heat and traffic. I wanted to add more cooling if possible, so I came to either the Dirtbound 3 fan setup or the CSF 3 row all metal rad using the stock fans ( ZJ mech fan upgrade if possible ) and the stock AC fan wired to a switch.

Notice that air can get in easy through the grill and fans, but it can't get out. The Cherokee engine compartment is pretty crowded, the hot air has a hard time getting out, restricting flow.

Consider hood vents or at least opening up the splash panels.

Is that 98 aux fan the same as my 97? So if thats the case, then I can run that CSF 3 core ( 168 shipped ) and then just buy the XJ fan clutch and I should be good to go.

whoa... crazy. I need a new fan clutch. Almost makes me want to keep it the way it is. Maybe get a CSF and a stock fan clutch. But someone in that link said that they had a replacement fan clutch and it was still super close.
