Get one with the electric fan.  The cooler won't do much good unless you have
air flowing through it.  My '74 has a setup from Bernie Bergman and it has
dropped my temps by 40 degrees and doubled my oil pressure.

I think you could piece together all the parts and save money over Bernie's
kit, but I didn't have the time and patience to sort it all out.
