Does it matter which side of the radiator the fans are fitted in a v mount conversion. might be obvoius to keep as them are they are but im not sure.
Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself...
But i can always do with some help now due to, my advancing years!

if you have a v mount there suppose to be on the underside or youll block air to the rad if its a front mount they need to be closest to the engine side

But then again it would be getting the hot air coming though the radiator going through the intercooler...

This will depend on the fans your using,

If they suck they would have to go on the inside or if they blow the outside, if this is not taken into consideration all the fans will do is fight air flow and be ineffective,

If unsure, fire em up and see if a piece of paper either sticks to the plain side of the rad or blows it away,

Hope this helps
All the best Clive
