It is a good idea. you should not need a electric fan a cooler will be an improvement on it's own. but if it doesn't get a lot of air flow.
AS the temp of oil is greater than the coolant they can remove heat energey very efficently for the size and reduce heat load on radiator.

If I do go with running one I`ll have a valve in the lines that by pass the cooler if the oil isn`t hot enough but will open when getting close to to hot. It will have a fan on it which will have a over ride switch on it, but it will also be hooked up to the water thermostat or I might even put a oil temp thermostat in.
Not 100% how I`ll do it yet but I`ll sus it all out.

The Chev LT5 uses a thermostaticaly controled oil cooling system which works very well. During development, they discovered they had to use a progressive opening thermostat so it slowly bleed the cool oil from the cooler and lines into the engine until this oil was warmed up close to the oil in the engine.
Before they tried this, the engines used to shudder terribly on the test bed as the thermostat opened and let a big blast of cold oil into the engine. Doesn't sound like it would do the engine any favours dumping cold oil into the block when already at running temp.
I'm pretty sure the more common sandwich adaptors used to fit oil coolers just let the oil in the cooler and lines heat up as the oil in the engine warms up.
Good luck with it.
