For everyone who can't read, (everyone who replied), the OP is asking to add the Altima fans to augment the existing clutch fan. In other words, remove the OE single shroud and electric fan and replace it with the Altima fans and shroud, but keep the clutch fan in place.

So, now that we're clear, yes and no. The Altima fans would move more air than the single electric fan that comes stock, but by removing the OE shroud the clutch fan's airflow isn't directed as well. So you will see improved cooling when the electric fans kick on with the A/C engaged or when the car reaches 203 degrees, but you will loose some efficiency without the shroud in place.

In other words, leave it. The hassle of modifying the Altima shroud and wiring harness the correct way isn't worth the gains at all, unless you make some sort of auxiliary shroud for the clutch fan too.
