>>>You would definitely want the fans to be triggered by the radiator 
thermoswitches OR by the A/C.   Most conventional cars with front-mounted A/C 
turn on the radiator fans the moment the A/C system is engaged regardless of 
engine temp.

Without anything scientific to back up this suggestion, I would think it 
would be advantageous to have the A/C system turn both fans on at the same 
time; however having the radiator turn the fans on sequentially saves wear and 
tear on the #2 fan, perhaps?
