It would be cool (pun intended) if that were hammered out, a formula, but think every OE has done many times over.

I've run those Flex-a-lite 295 fan setups on 68-72 A-bodies, they work, and were my go-to. They have a rating of 4600cfm, but don't believe all fan companies use the same formula to calc CFM.

Rebuild looks fairly straight forward, not too bad. As long as it didn't dry out and rust you should be good.
