HSF--pull air out, or suck air in?

Bruce Lee or Coke?

Seriously, we need more information. Even an MS-Paint hackjob .jpg of your case and the airflow would work wonders here.

Generally, if there's a short path to the outside, duct your fan there and blow inward.

Suck air in, generally speaking... assuming that means configuring the fan to blow down into the heatsink, instead of away from it. I've heard of a few heatsinks that are slightly more efficient the other way around, but not many.
 
Push on heatsink most of the time. It is rare that the fan pushes away, Alpha's often use this method, but they are the exception.
 
The next system I'm mapping out has a PSU with 92mm fan directly above the CPU socket, but still enough clearance to fit in a Zalman flower-sink.

Single-fan AMD system anyone?

Got 1 single fan on the Sparkle 250wt PSU blowing on the side and runs an Iwill with an AMD1700+ @2.1GHz so you should be safe. I think the AMD recommendations of the underneath Fan is no longer in effect now that the old TBirds are gone.
