Always remember when considering the design of your cooling system that the area where the air exits after passing over the radiator(s) should preferably be twice the area of the opening where the air enters.The rationale behind this is that the air entering will be "clean" air ie there will presumably be a smooth flow in whereas air exiting the radiator will be "dirty" ie turbulent air and will require a larger exit than entry.If there is any restriction behind the radiator air pressure will be higher here than it is in front of the radiator and this will tend to slow the flow of air through the radiator.I am not saying this is the problem in your case but it is something those designing a car should be aware of.
