I'm looking to swap the factory clutch fan out for electrical driven fans. Is there any way you could help answer a few questions for me?

Can I ask why the mechanical fan does a better job than the electric fans? You may be able to find aftermarket kits that can work. What questions do you have? Check out the link below to see the kit I was thinking of.

Your response is appreciated. I just reading some forums about gaining some HP by taking the mech fan off the shaft. I understand that it could possibly lead to a couple of issue regarding sound and even having to upgrade the alternator. I also know that you have to link it into the ecu and install relays for idle and A/C. Basically, I was looking see if there is a short cut to find the right parts for order.

I would leave the fan that is on it, the HP gain is minimal, you won't be able to notice a difference.
