I have an amp that has tubes in and i was just
wondering what would be the best way to setup a
fan in it? Have the fan blowing the air into the
amp across the tubes or pulling the air out of the amp?
Or should i have one fan blowing in and one fan
pulling the air out?

I prefer to 'draw' the heat away from the tubes myself. At least how the case is setup on mine. But a push-me-pull-you would work best. (Sounds like sometinhg from Dr. Doolittle)
