Electric fan swap temperature switches

If my a/c was working I would hook up one fan to go on soon as the a/c went on and the other on the controller....with the a/c off both fans would come on
I know this topic is old and even this post is... I'm jumping in a bit late but I have searched so many threads on this forum to try and not ask a question that has been asked so many times before.
I am currently running a 454 with an aftermarket aluminum radiator. The car gets hot at idle with the clutch fan so I picked up a set of fans from a 1994 F-Body Camaro. They fit in the car and on the radiator well. That is all I have so far in the swap.
From my understanding of the posts I've been reading, I'll need to either buy a controller and set a temperature (I have no idea where it will get its reading from) or I can use a temperature switch with relays? I will be running A/C in the car and I want to set them up for Low and High speed.
Any suggestions as far as parts and where to hook this up? I will have to measure my Radiator and see where and if I can put 1/2" or 3/4" temperature sensors, or I'll have to run off the intake. Thank you...

Yes you can build one but this is easy!!!

Their is a lot of fan control options..
Placement of the sensor also has many options, as to where it can go..
I got an adjustable controller... It also has an input for a/c so it can turn on to help the a/c work...
With it being adjustable I can,, well adjust..
Datoka digital fan controller.. it can be done cheaper of course...

Thank you very much. I went with the eBay controller for now. I called them up and compared notes from what I learned about the Dakota Digital dual fan controllers and this one should work for my application just fine. If not, that is definitely the kit I'm going to go with instead of making my own system. Thank you for the response.
