I have a few questions:
Will I see a noticeable gain with this motor 2.5 NA?
Also can I use the stock switch to turn no the auxiliary fan?
There will be NO noticeable gain in horse power or MPG on the 2.5 NA.

NO, you should NOT use the stock switch, it activates at a much higher temperature than the hydrostatic fan clutch.
