yup, fan shroud required or electric fan but would need to be low profile pull style if on the back side so it would miss the water pump shaft. is that a short pump? if not a shorty may place the fan back further to clear the hose better? pusher fans are not as efficient but could also work on the front side of the rad.
could you cheat the hose by using a length of tubing in the fan area? or have the rad connection turned slightly to redirect the hose away from the fan? remember the engine will torque as you step on the gas.
