Thank you.
I finally got to installing them.
First photo shows the stock and 12" side-by-side. Notice the scalloping of the stock shroud to the left of the fan motor, done to clear the sway (and the sway still rested on the shroud).
Second, two fans arranged on top of the rad (custom, one-off, that's why the remote reservoir)
Third show the zip ties that I used to mount the fans. Feed them through, and lower the retaining ring. Pretty secure.
Fourth photo, everything installed, and I left the zip ties un-snipped (I did it later, on the car)
Note: I reversed the blades. Didn't take pics, but it's straightforward. Seems that the fans pulled more with the blades reversed.
Note: Reversing the blades keeps the fan a "pull" type.
And, lastly, fifth photo shows the sway bar clearance. FM 1" NB (car is '90).
Hope this helps.
P.S. The reason I switched from single to dual (only one stock fan could be mounted on alum rad, so I had to put up with it after my stock rad blew up, literally) was because one fan was plenty for cooling, but not nearly enough to run A/C, P/S, and cool the car.

The fans came with a ground (black) and power (red) wires. From the description I understood that either the wires can be switched (unlikely), or the fans can be mounted in either push (in front of rad) or pull (behind the rad) orientation.
All I know is, my A/C blows freezing air.

I'm now running the 2x12's from siliconintakes - they come assembled in a pull config (with the blades in the right orientation and the blue wire is hot, black is ground). The other aftermarket fan I bought came in a push config and I had to remove the blades and reverse them and use the same polarity (i/e blue = hot, black = ground). So it's all that uncommon to have a fan come in the push config.

One thing I'm about to do is wire both fans to come on at the same time, and not just the passenger side fan only when the A/C is on.
I was sitting in traffic, outside temp around 90, I turn the A/C on, and see my temp gauge climb up past the middle.
Parallel fans!

I have clearance issues with the stock fan assembly (attacked to CXRacing radiator) and the FM MSM throttle body elbow .... they both want to occupy the same airspace. 
So I ordered a pair of 10" fans and mounting hardware from our new friend Jessica. Hoping that solves the fitment problem.
Is anybody other than me starting to wonder if she's hot and digs turbo Miatas?
