Is it worth running a radiator fan shroud?

I ordered an upper and lower fan shroud from lmc and tried installing it today. There is just no way it will work. The lower wont fit without the fan rubbing against it. And the upper required a lot of trimming just to get it to sit over the radiator. And even with all that, if I were to get both in successfully, they don't mate up. There is like a 3" or so gap between them.

Are there people here that don't run shrouds? I made sure to order the right shrouds and I'm pretty sure my radiator is just a standard size. So I don't see why nothing would fit up. I could just use the upper, But it looks odd and stupid being by itself. I don't have overheating issues since replacing my fan clutch(used to overheat at idle). So I really don't see the need for one aside from the safety issue.
