Default overheating after e-fan swap

I did the e fan swap about a month ago now these 97+ degree days are just too much. I used fans from a newer gran prix they are plenty wide enough but just a little too short. Has anyone had overheating probs after the swap and if so what did you do to fix it.

Make sure they are blowing the right direction and make sure they are getting 12volts.
I recently had an issue with my 34" radiator and fans. With the AC on and the fans on high the coolant would creep up to 215-220. I knew something had gone wrong cause its never done that.
Got to looking and my passenger side fan was pushing air from the engine out the front grill. Doh.
The fans never come on high during the winter so i had never noticed the problem. Switched my 2 wires and it wont get over 190 with the AC wide open sittin at idle.


Little thing like that will get you. Is that a two fan setup or one?
