Has only 1 pull fan (2 pushers) and not enough room for another puller the radiator is set close to the motor to allow room for the A/C condenser.

I'll check the radiator specs for pressure to be sure.

Two out front is even worse! You're blocking off a huge area of your radiator and AC condenser. You should be fine with one good (high amp, lots of flow - I like SPAL fans) puller fan if it's mounted to a shroud plate. What thermostat are you running, and what do you consider "..a little warm"?

Does your radiator have a shroud for the fan(s)? I really think if you pull the two outer fans you'll see a difference in the operating temp, provided your puller is a good, high capacity fan with the controls set right or even with a three position toggle, Off/Low/High if you want manual control.
