Hello, I have a simple question. Can someone confirm whether it's possible to remove the fan clutch and the pump still function properly. I am running an electric fan already, but i want the cleaner look of a clutchless W/P. THANKS!

It's ok to remove the fan as long as you leave the pulley. The pulley is what gets driven by the fan which in turn drives the pump. So if you can remove the fan form the pulley your good to go.

I have already removed the stock fan and installed an electric unit. I am just wondering if i can seperate the fan clutch and retain only a belt driven water pump. Or if there may be an aftermarket pump to fit the Z24's timing cover. I am running a single V-belt that only operates the water pump and alternator. Thanks
