The fan mod is good, but it doesn't address WHY you fans aren't coming on as they should. The prime suspects would be the thermoswitch or at least one of the fan relays. Since the fans come on with AC, I'd start with changing the stock thermoswitch first, and while I was at it, I'd swap to the FC (89-91) thermoswitch. IIRC, ~$40. It SHOULD turn you fans on sooner, 210 deg. F. instead of 225 deg. F.

If they still don't work, start checking relays.

I'd take the time to check the fan relays. If they are corroded or wet in any way then they will not operate properly.
