I have a multi-blade flex fan in my 1954 aluminum-head Patrician which I am going to soon replace with a stock fan. It works well and keeps the engine cool (a bit too cool in my opinion) but the main reason I'm replacing it is that it's noisy. That is, you really can't hear it when driving but with the hood open, the fan has a distinctive creak over the sound of the engine itself.

You may find the same issue of running too cool if you use an A/C radiator in a non-A/C car so why not just re-core your stock radiator? Unless you do a lot of slow desert driving, a thicker fan will not be necessary.
