That's what I used for my high speed a/c switch.

At operating temp the cht wire goes from voltage to .0v so it's practically a ground. You could wire both fans to come on when that happens

What is the cht? I'm not very good with electrical, but I can follow instructions and always prefer the best option.

So you could wire it with relays so that 1 fan comes on with the A/C and 1 when the CHT signals it?
Where is this CHT wire?

Also, if you have a single 2 speed fan, could you set it so that low speed comes on with one and high speed with the other (like low speed is for temp sense and high speed is A/C)?

that is how mine is wired, using a relay as a switch for when you turn on the a/c.
