IF . theres no engine venting of gas's or even the slightist oil leak with in the engine bay . Plus Either you ONLY drive in fine weather or the engine bay is water proof . Yep fine.
Bonnet & side vents along the lines of Mustang's/Cobra's /Gts's etc etc, are what I was talking about.

True altho it proves a point about very slow driving in a crowd or engine running while parked being an overheating issue on most vehicles.

From memory, my 1750cc Allegro's fan only ever cut in when stuck in heavy traffic, ditto the 1300cc Allegro, as the radiators were a fairly large size.In fact, I ended up blanking off the lower third of the radiator on the 1300cc - permanently.
Putting a pull through electric fan is the only logical place, as a fan situated in front merely stops cool air getting to the radiator in the first place -so the fan will probably need to cut in!
Ducting cool air direct to the radiator with no means of air escaping around it means it must go through - where it is needed.

Yup like my old work hack the radiator is very capable and big for the size of the engine, could probably block off part of it and it would make no change. lol.
