adding some cheap ebay special 14" electric pusher fans to help my stock mechanical fan pull air over the coolers and need some help.

first off is,wiring- how do i wire in the temp sensor trigger deal (just has one wire hookup point on the end and the other threads into the coolant somewhere)

second question is- where is the best place to tap into for coolant temp to turn the fans on?

those fans are only going to restrict the amount of air the mechanical fan will pull across the cooling stack. i would highly suggest not doing it

Agreed.
However, if you are dead set on doing so, there is a wire for each hot to the fans, to the battery, a ground, a switched line that ties to your AC (so your fans are on any time the compressor is). The best place to tap is the thermostat housing, its where coolant is hottest before it is released to the radiator.
I ran a kit like this on my old Z28 and it worked great.

i was thinking about tucking them on the far sides that seam to be blocked the most?
they dont have any real solid pieces or a shroud that seam like it would really block any air thats coming through?
