Default Installing Slim Fans on 96 NA

Miata Gurus!!!!!! When I bought my car it had a ebay racing radiator and one fan on it. Does the NA only have one fan? I then bought a slim dual fan setup from ebay. Now how would I go about installing the dual fan setup when there is only one line for the fan? would I split it? Sorry I tried searching but nothing exact came up. Thank you so much!

you shouldnt need any more than ONE fan... unless you like to just let your car run, without driving it. 2 fans definitely wouldnt hurt, and setting it up should be fairly straightforward. I kept it simple, and just ran 1 fan with my big *** radiator. ACTUALLY... my fan doesnt even turn on (new discovery) and even in traffic, the car has yet to overheat.

NA has 2 fans. you can either find the second connector which may be the connector that turned on the A/C fan in which case it would run whenever your ECU/wiring/sensors tell it to run, or run another thick wire to a relay that runs the second fan when the first fan turns on.

Or your current fan is already hooked up to the A/C fan connector, in which case I'd find that second connector.
