Default electric fan question

No doubt am i goin with the flex-a-lite fans but I was wondering that if i order them from autoanything (they run about 500 bucks) was do they come with everything needed to install? and what's the difference between the 13.5 inch fans and the 15 inch fans? does one cool better than the other?

i'll look around on ebay for some...i'd like the dual fan setup though.

How would you mount them up without the fan shroud?

so you keep the bottom part of the fan shroud and just mount it inside there?

And when it says you can have them push or pull, which way do you want the fans going? Pushing or pulling?
