Warm up the car and turn on the AC then sit while idling it usually just takes a few minutes before the temp gets warm enough for the elec fan to engage.
You usually can hear from the cabin.
I'm planning to take my mech fans off next winter instead of blocking the fan with cardboard

Shouldn't have to block off the fans but if that is necessary consider an electric fan. I installed one several years ago for performance benefits. I set the variable thermostat so that the fan comes on just before the aux fan does which means the aux fan seldom runs. Aftermarket fan generates far more CFM than mechanical fan and it runs when the engine is off until the engine drops and stays below thermostat setting thus preventing any heat soak.
