Question (1994 ranger XLT 4.0L) runs hot when idles for more than 15min, think its the fan

I just bought this ranger from my brother. apparently he already changed the radiator and the thermostat. I don't think its the water pump because its not overheating that bad as long as not climbing a hill or idle for a while. that's why im thinking the fan clutch is going bad. the fan is working but theres no fan shroud, it got lost somehow when we swapped the motor a few years ago. the temperature slowly rises while going uphills, but on level roads seems to handle. that's why im thinking change the fan and clutch and install a shroud, or install an electric fan..help please im not 100% sure what to do first, and Im on a limited budget.
