Your right you dont need the underdrive pulleys for the fan kit the underdrive pulley replaces your harmonic balancer and your water pump pulley. It is just easier with the fan removed because you will have to remove the fan to change the water pump pulley and if you install the fan kit first the fan is already gone.
If you have the stock radiator the install will be alot easier than mine due to the brackets I had to fabricate to mount them but Troyer has taken alot of time and effort into the install instructions and makes it very easy if you have some knowledge of wiring and very minimal at that and the underdrive pulleys were extremely easy no trouble whatsoever the instructions for those are good as well just need the correct tools like a three prong pulley puller, impact wrench, and torque wrench that will do 75 ft lbs

I really just want some E-fans, but I'm not sure at 450 bucks they will give me enough improvement on the butt dyno.

Yeah I hear ya on the price! That is something else I have been going back and forth on. The Troyer kit for around $500 or piece together a DIY for half that? From what I can tell you can put together efans for around $150 or so and get some Moto Blue pulleys for $160? Decisions, decisions!
yeah I'm just not sure how well they work, as far as HP gains.

So, PHP Gryphon adds 35hp, and that adds 20-30. That means for under 1,000 dollars you can have 60 hp. Hm

No I am an Airframe and Powerplant mechanic and that is a connector for aircraft avionics that I wired up to go into one wire instead of two separate wire bundles. Where it connects into the fan controller and temp probes are the only pre-wired connectors and you wire it into the PCM connector.
