Default Aluminum radiators

Thinking of putting a aluminum radiator and electric fans on my GTO.
But since the factory ones are held in with the plastic shroud it would not be there.
How are the aftermarket aluminum fans with aluminum shroud and fans bolted to the radiator support ?

Looking at this one with large 14" fans and no shroud.

A 184$ cheapo but will get here the fastest.

Then you have this one and I kind of like it. Looks stockish.

The ends are stamped, not square fabricated. The fan covers are made out of steel, not plastic. Its a 2 row but the people who make it says they are larger rows and cool better than a normal 3 row or even 4 row. This company is in Minnesota so could be USA made ?
The others are all in LA or Portland so you know those come from China.
Any help is appreciated. Really interested in how you attach the radiator to the car without the shroud. I am sure it simple but want to know before I buy one.
