Do you spray after crimping, or does the current growth in the plot die from simply crimping?

If the majority of the crop has seed in the dough stage – seeds formed and full of moisture, not hard – then yes the crimper will terminate the crop. Plants are very weak when they are producing seed in the dough stage.
If there’s a bunch of weeds, etc., and herbicide is needed, there’s no need to crimp. Certainly the herbicide should be applied when the crop is standing. Once a crop has been crimped, herbicide won’t reach most of the crop below the top layer.
