Default 2 part cooling question

1: Whats the capacity of the whole system?
I want to get a good mix of 50/50

2: I want to corral the air flow into the radiator instead of the air flowing all over the place>>>>>Some people have put rubber seals on/around the rad/support and shroud>>>What if you know, did they use..no ac or ps...I want to make it myself instead of purchasing from the suppliers..
