everything i've seen/read says leave the viscous fan on, with the fan shroud. no need for a lecy fan

Indeed, leave the viscous on and let the mechanical item kick in when in traffic etc.

no room in the capri for the viscous fan, which is why i want to know at what time it locks

I'd expect the fan to have locked up sometime shortly after the thermostat has opened . Start at 85-90 degs and go from there. The fan should only kick in after a few mins of being stationary and pretty much never come on when on the move.
I seem to recall you're using an S13 gauge cluster? If so having the temp in the middle of the gauge should be what you aim for.
