Todd,
Whatever route you go I'd advise a block off and a fan. A rad by itself is more efficient than the trombone but not too much so unless it has a forced air environment.
I often run in 100+ degrees, the highest this year 115, and never see 210 oil temp unless I get on it...gen 194 to 200. Prior to the rad .. w/trombone, I'd hit 230 plus all of the time.
Many aircooled guys just don't drive in Phx in the summer if they don't have a proper radiator set up.
In the cooler months I block off my air scoop so it'll get to proper temp.
The fan, if switched in the cockpit, allows you to run it when at stops/in traffic. The fan does not just hold the temp, in my case, but actually lowers oil temp sitting still.
