New shroud or switch to electric fan?

Well, my truck has cooled fine since I got it put back together. But a 2wd shroud on a 4wd truck seems to be more than it can handle now that I have added Vintage air. My stock gauge has usually ran right at the first (normal)? mark even after installing the condenser, but after charging my system it stays right in the middle even at highway speeds. I realize this is heat transfer from condenser, but my main problem is that my fan is not even close to being inside the shroud (which vintage air reccomends it being at least 2/3 inside shroud). So I am faced with getting the proper 4wd shroud, or installing an electric fan setup. Like 71Rat's install http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=254617 I believe I can get a Jeep Grand Cherokee fan at ly local salvage for less than 50 bucks. So what do you guys think the best route is? The new shroud I can get from LMC is 75 shipped.
