I have a C&R H/E with fans on my 98.. It's pretty easy.. Just some fab work.
Here's the write up that Unleashedbeast wrote up.. We did it together when I lived in AL:
Revan Racing Dual Fan Heat Exchanger
A huge thanks to Van @ Revan Racing for his support in this project.
On to the install. . .
After getting the car on jack stands so the front wheels and inner fender covers could be removed, the front bumper cover was also removed. The old heat exchanger seen here was not getting the job done, and it's easy to see why. Too small, no direct air flow, etc. The water coming out was so hot, it felt like engine coolant. Not good! At least it made for a good shelf to store my tools on for a minute. :smmon:
After getting the fail boat heat exchanger out of the way, I was able to hold the new heat exchanger in place to see how this was going to work. Gray hair is starting to own me. :dw:
The easiest way was to make upper side brackets to mount to the car's bumper support. These were hand bent and cut, nothing fancy, easy to do. I did discover that the axle weights removed from a 2007+ GT500 made a good bending anvil. Who knew? :-D

There are side tabs on the Revan unit that allowed plastic air guides to push pin snap in place. I was able to mark the exact location and use a 5/16" self tap aggressive thread metal screw. The screw was perfect to bite through plastic and secure tightly into the pre-existing hole in the Revan unit.

For additional support, we used more of the metal stock to create center load supports. They attach to the Revan unit where the GT500's water pump would normally mount. The other end is attached to the hood latch support. They were painted flat black to look OEM. I would like to add that these supports are optional. The heat exchanger was mounted so firmly with only the outside mounts, it was sufficient. This is almost over kill.
On the driver side of the car is his hefty water pump.
The fan's primary power wire were zip tied to the bottom system return hose.
The relays were mounted under the fender cover next to the water pump. The fan relay trigger wire was connected to the primary hot wire of the water pump. When the pump comes on, so do the fans. The yellow wires (relay power) were run into the engine bay and connected with their fuse holders at the main distribution relay box.
With the car fully assembled again, you can see that the heat exchanger barely drops under the front bumper cover. This isn't an issue, but if it bothers someone, it's capable to mount the unit a little higher.
