No need to be that close with a shroud..... the hot air from the radiator is funneled directly to the fan & clutch unit. My '72 is all OEM and the front of the clutch is 6" away from the radiator. And not that you asked, but the fan sits fully inside the shroud -- that is, the back edge of the fan blades line up with the rear of the shroud opening.
