Depends on your location and driving style, I'd imagine. I always use a shroud in combination with the mechanical fan. They are both required components of an air-moving system.

That being said, if you have a higher capacity aluminum rad and your climate + use are mild, you are probably ok, but without peace of mind.

My educated guesses, if using clutch fan w/ no shroud:

>Traffic jam in Arizona? Overheat
>Any type of track driving? Overheat
>Rural daily in New York? Probably ok
>Daily driver pretty much anywhere without traffic looking like a bozo with no front bumper? Probably ok

KA shrouds are pretty hard to find these days unfortunately. I may have one I'd be willing to offload if it helps out a forum member. I have also retrofitted SR20 shrouds (still available from Nissan for pretty cheap) to work on KA's as well.
