Your fan or fans should cover as much of the radiator as possible
By doing this you should not need shrouds
Cooling efficiency is related more to volume of air that the fan puts through the radiator

Rule of thumb is that a radiator will need approx 1/3 of rad size opening in front and about 2/3 clear behind it
